07x03 - House of Horrors

[cheerful pop music plays] ♪ Hey! ♪

-Hey!
-Hey.

Ooh, look at this!

Today, Chrishell and I are previewing
this beautiful house in the Palisades

for her client who has
a growing family and a nice budget.

[Chrishell] Okay, this I love.

[Amanza] This is gorgeous.

After confronting Chrishell and Emma
at the Goldstein residence,

I wanted to make sure we were cool,
so I asked to tag along today.

["Feeling Good Today"
by FLOYD WONDER plays]

Oh, is that a theater?

Oh, it is.

Cute.

I have somebody that actually
is looking in a different area,

and it's very peaceful and calm,
but this has the same feel.

Oh, look,
it's like a little entertainment level.

[Amanza] Wow, these are fun.

["Feeling Good Today" ends]

It's real grass, so my heels always...
You have platforms. Not fair.

I'll just walk weird. Like a gazelle.

-[Chrishell] You are like a gazelle.
-[Amanza laughs]

[water trickles]

-[sighs] This is nice out here.
-Sounds...

I love the sound of trickling water.
Like a waterfall. It's so peaceful.

Yeah.

Um...

-I wanna make sure we're cool...
-Yeah.

After the other day
at the Goldstein residence.

Well, um, here's the thing.

I know you were
just trying to be the peacemaker.

I understand, like,
what you're trying to do, but right now,

I just don't have time for that 'cause
I really need to focus on my health.

I went to the doctor this morning... and...

um...

You're freaking me out. What's happening?

I have to have surgery
because I have a cyst on my ovary

that is bigger than an orange,
so it's like...

Oh, my God.

...bigger than my actual uterus right now.

It started in December.

When it kicks up,
it feels... kind of debilitating.

-Is it like cramps or... What type of...
-It's like stabbing cramps.

I'm in so much pain when it happens

that I can't deal with anything else
on top of that.

-I just want the pain to go away.
-I'm sorry.

I had no idea you were even going
through any of that.

[tense music plays]

Where's your head?

I mean, obviously, it is scary.

She said they may have to take
one of my ovaries out

because it's on the ovary.

-And hearing that news...
-Yeah. Devastating.

Yeah, just because, you know, it...

There just goes another mark
against what you're trying to do.

Yeah. I understand that.

I have to be really calm, chill.
No dancing.

-No... sex.
-So you can't come to work, obviously.

-Can't be chill with your friends.
-No... workouts.

-I'm basically no fun.
-Damn.

I'm there for you, so anything you need...

I'll be your Postmates. I'll be your chef.

-Your snuggle buddy to watch a movie.
-You're sweet.

You're super-tiny.

Will you just disappear
when they take it out?

Well, I'm literally
flashing you right now,

so I could just show you where it is.

I wasn't gonna say anything.

I can't sit in this skirt.

Mary, if you see anything dope around
where you live up to 3.2, lemme know.

I have a client that wants to be
in a neighborhood like you are.

There's one at 2.5 in Sherman Oaks.

Text me whatever you got,
and I'll forward it to him.

-Hey.
-[Chrishell] Hi.

-Hey, babe. Chris!
-Look at us. Matchy matchy.

You look so cute.

I am so happy that Mary has put
a focus back on her personal life.

It shows how happy she is,
how calm she is.

You can just see the stress
has just kind of washed off of her.

And as off as we might be right now
with our dynamic,

there's so much love there,
and what's meant to happen will be.

You guys, I actually have exciting news.

Do you guys know who Nikki Glaser is?

-Of course.
-Hilarious comedian.

She always has
these comedy specials that come out.

But we actually had the same dance partner

on Dancing with the Stars with Gleb,
who you guys know.

So she is looking for a house,

and Gleb was like,
"You need to talk to Chrishell,"

so she's coming in today.

-So I need you all on your best behavior.
-Awesome.

She is so funny.

I hope she roasts
the sh*t out of you girls.

Too bad you guys didn't wear one
of your weird outfits today.

-Hello? Hi! I'm Nikki!
-Hi! Oh, my gosh, Nikki. Hello! Welcome!

-Nice to meet you.
-[Chrishell] This is Nikki.

-Jason. Nice to meet you.
-Hi. Good to meet you.

-So nice to meet you in person!
-Oh my God. You too!

Thank you for coming.

-This is Brett.
-[Nikki] Nice to meet you.

-Hi! Mary. Nice to meet you.
-Hi, Mary. Nikki. Nice to meet you.

-[Chrishell] Welcome. Have a seat.
-Oh, my gosh, this office is amazing.

You have no idea
how much of an honor it is for me

to meet my eighth favorite comedian. It's...

[Chrishell] I apologize.

Brett hasn't been around women very often,
so he's very excited.

Didn't know it was possible,
but you're my third favorite twin.

-[Brett] Well done.
-[Chrishell] So welcome to The O Group.

-Is that what you call it? The O Group?
-That's what we call it.

It sounds like a place
where you go for vaginal issues.

-[Chrishell] Sometimes that tracks.
-You basically nailed it.

[Nikki] That's why I'm here today as well.

I'm already feeling moister.

I... No, I'm so excited to be here

and to talk to you
about the thing that I'm most scared of,

which is buying a home.

-First time?
-[Nikki] First time.

I've rented. I'm 38.

It's been recommended
that I buy for a long time,

and I just can't pull the trigger,

because I just don't like
to commit too hard to something.

First one's the hardest.

It can be scary, but it's also exciting
you're at this place.

-Yeah.
-What's the top of your price range?

What's the bottom?

This is gonna sound really naive,

but, like, what... How do you determine
what's your price range?

[Jason] Where do you wanna buy? The Hills?

I wanna buy in this area actually,
because this is such a perfect location

'cause it's equidistant between
The Comedy Store, Improv, Laugh Factory.

So, I want to be able to,
maybe, even walk to my sets at night.

-Yeah.
-[Chrishell] Square footage?

Okay. I don't understand square foot...

-It's like talking about acres.
-How many bedrooms do you need?

Okay, honestly... two,

because I don't love guests.

-I want an extra bedroom...
-I'm the same.

...if my boyfriend and I are in a fight,
or if he snores or something.

Got you. Okay. This is good.

Oh! Kitchen?

I need enough counter space
to open Uber Eats and Postmates.

I like a view.

I like a lot of light.
I like windows, but I also like...

The house will come with windows...

-Thank God.
-Almost certainly.

Okay. Walls? Okay, a door, um...?

[Jason] You'll be the easiest client ever.

She's like, "This $3.5 million house
has two bathrooms?"

"Four bedrooms, one bath? I'll take it!"

-"And windows?"
-[Nikki] Right. I'll be an easy sell.

[Chrishell] Well,
I have a couple houses in mind already

that I think you should check out.

For me, it's totally related
to how I am in relationships too,

of marriage and being like, it's forever...

Even though it doesn't have to be,
and you can... You know? We all know.

There'll be a moment of fear,
but, listen, worst-case scenario,

you want to get out,
we can get you out of it.

-We can sell it, put you somewhere else.
-[Nikki] Yes.

I don't want to go all the way yet.
Just, like, over the pants. Blow job.

Second base. I've done it before. Yeah.

[Brett] That sounds miserable.

It's kind of hilarious. You just like...

[makes guttural noises]

Breathe on it.

I just like hanging out here.
Like, is this so fun to work here?

We have to work on
interpersonal relationships,

because a lot of us have dated.

-You dated...
-We also broke... We're not together.

[Nikki] Can I ask why you broke up?

Jason, you wanna take this one?

It was important to her to have a family,
and I went through that

and decided I wasn't ready for it.

Okay, so now you're with someone new.
How long have you been with this person?

[Jason] Eight months.

-[Nikki] Does she want a family?
-Not for a long time.

-Can she wait a long time?
-She's young, so...

Oh...

So you...

How much younger we talkin'?

-She's 25. So, almost 20 years.
-[Nikki] And how old are you?

Almost 20 years.
For someone who doesn't want kids,

it's weird you date one.

[laughs awkwardly]

-[gasps]
-Um, let me guess.

She's probably super hot,
but she's got, like, an old soul.

[Mary laughs]

To be fair,
she reads at night, and I watch TV.

-[Chrishell] Okay.
-I wanna go party.

You don't have to read her to sleep?
She doesn't pick out the book for you?

Mary, Chrishell,
and I are all with people in their 20s.

-[Nikki] Oh, really?
-[Chrishell] Mine's 29.

My partner's 29.

-Do they want a family?
-[Chrishell] Yes.

That's good.
What about the girl you adopted?

-[Chrishell] Oh, my God.
-Do you get along with his...

What's her name?

-[Jason] Marie-Lou.
-[Nikki] Marie-Lou.

[Chrishell] Um...

We're recent exes,
so I think she's been a little upset

about certain things in the past.

So I've offered to take her to lunch,
make sure she's comfortable.

Make sure they have
a kid's menu and crayons.

At one point, Jason and I were in talks
to maybe have a kid,

but I will take Marie-Lou
out to lunch instead.

[Brett] That's as close as you'll get.

So he's the real deal.

Thank you very much.

Although my expertise
is not really Pacific Palisades,

I do have a client
that is looking for beach property,

-I used to. I used to be a bad girl.
-Back in the day.

Yeah? There's, like, a little hole still.

Yeah, I have it too, but mine's crooked.

Why is it crooked?

Because she put it through,
and I, like, jumped,

so she just shoved it, and it went,
like, crooked, so it was always...

Yeah, let's do it.

[rhythmic music plays]

-[Amanza] Oh, this is cute.
-This is cute. Is this a pool?

Is it... Kind of like a big hot tub.

[music ends]

-[Amanza] I need hand lotion.
-I need lip gloss. I'm in struggle mode.

I don't know why we're single.

No idea. I mean...

Just in this whole walkthrough,
I know why we're single now.

Um, well, you missed a banger
the other night at Chelsea's party.

Did I?

-Yeah, or dodged a b*llet, maybe.
-That's probably a better analogy.

There was a lot going on,
but I did talk to Chelsea.

-Have you guys talked yet?
-Nope.

No, I'm assuming from that attitude.
[laughs]

She needs to talk to you.
I know she wants to.

And I know
she's talked about very recently.

-But wants to talk to me why?
-I know she's gonna apologize.

[intriguing music plays]

-Can you just listen though?
-Debatable.

-Depends on what comes out of her mouth.
-Hear what she says.

-I'm kind of over the situation.
-I'm kind of over everybody's situation.

-I'd like it to just go away.
-Amanza.

-I'm like, "Hey."
-At least you're in the middle.

Well, that's not always great,

but I hear everything,
so I just kinda wanna...

If I can soften the situation,
that's what I wanna do.

But I feel like I won't accept that.
We are not cool.

She feels a little bit like
she's been kind of labeled the villain...

-In this whole thing.
-She labeled herself villain.

She said that she feels like

she's a bit more of a messenger
than we all kind of know,

and that maybe other people were having
the same thoughts and feelings as her,

but she was the only one
that expressed it.

And who's that?

I don't know.

I know Mary and I were very strong
on we don't give a...

It's a pretty non-traditional office.

Mary's dated Jason, Jason dated Nicole.

Romain and Jason are best friends.
We don't care.

Okay, well, who is talking about me,
since she is the messenger?

So who's talking about me?

I know it's not Heather.
I know it's not you.

You wouldn't be telling me.
I don't think it would be Mary.

So that leaves Emma and Chrishell.

Yeah.

I would be pretty pissed

if I found out they were talking
with Chelsea about me.

In the beginning, I expect that
because they don't know me.

But if they're still talking sh*t about me
or about my family,

that's gonna be a problem.

-Well, cheers.
-Yes, let's cheers.

Okay, I know what Jason told me,
but I wanna clear the air with you.

-Yeah.
-Don't want any, you know...

For sure. Yes. Um...

I honestly don't really know you, right?

But you're really important to Jason,

as Mary and Nicole are
because you're his ex-girlfriends.

And you have a special bond,
which is, like, so important,

but I just thought you,
kind of, have something against me,

or... I don't know.

I felt a little bit, like, distant,

so I was like, "Maybe she doesn't like me,
maybe it's because of Jason."

We don't have to be friends,
but maybe we just have to be cool?

I thought...
So that's where we're having a misconnect

'cause I absolutely thought we were.

When Jason brought this to me,
I was surprised by it.

I feel like I knew you had an issue
with me quite a few times before that.

Jason told me that you got upset
that I hadn't followed you fast enough.

That is not true.

That I wasn't commenting enough
on your post or something.

No, that's not true.

I just told him that I will follow you
because we didn't follow each other.

I was like, "Maybe I should follow
your ex-girlfriend just to be nice

and show that I wanted to be friends,
and I'm cool with the situation."

And, sure, you didn't follow me back
for three months, and I was...

I didn't really care, but then he asked,
"Can you follow her back?"

But it wasn't because of me.

But there's so many times

where I knew that you were upset
I was with Jason, and you were crying.

When?

-Um... You know...
-When did I cry?

In Australia.

I thought I was meeting you guys
for a group lunch,

and then I could hear
you were really upset.

-I was like, "Jason, go meet..."
-Oh, I was upset, but I wasn't crying.

I didn't want to meet you
because I felt like you don't like me.

And I just felt like it's a hard job
to be cool with you, you know what I mean?

Okay.

And that's a problem.

We have to get along with each other,

maybe potentially be
a little bit of friends.

I don't like it being twisted.

It's not that I'm uncomfortable
being friends with you.

It's that I am always friendly with you,
but we aren't friends, and that's okay.

That's not true.

What isn't true?

That you're always friendly with me.

I have never not greeted you
with a hug, a compliment, and open arms.

-You guys know each other, yeah?
-[Chrishell] Yes, we met at the office.

How are you? Hi!

-Hey! How are you? So glad you made it.
-Hi!

-Hello, gorgeous, how are you?
-[Marie-Lou] Hi!

Good, and you?

-Hello, how are you?
-[Marie-Lou] Hi!

I'm good.

You never asked me one question.
You're not interested in me.

-You ignore me.
-I don't need...

I don't need to be interested in you.
I need to be friendly with you.

That's the difference.

That's where I'm coming from,
and that's my opinion.

But ignoring's not that friendly.

I ask you questions, you just don't care.
And you just turn away.

You asked a question, and I didn't care?

What did you ask me
that I didn't care about?

It didn't happen.

We're together for, like, eight months.

-In eight months, what is one time?
-I can't remember.

-Because it didn't happen.
-No. No, no, no, no.

But I'm not gonna sit here
and have you say I didn't.

I will die on this hill. I don't do this.

That's not who I am.

Not one time have I ever not said hello
and given you a compliment.

It's always the same compliment.

-And it's always in front of Jason.
-What?!

[intense music plays]

[inhales, exhales]

In one hand,
you're saying I am ignoring you,

and in the other, you're agreeing that
every time I see you I greet you warmly.

When Jason's around, yes.

But you're overly friendly,
like the balance is not there.

When he's not around,
you're not talking to me.

When have I hung out with you
without Jason? I don't.

[intense music crescendoes]

I'm not used to drama.

-I'm from Germany...
-But you're creating the drama.

There is no drama. I'm cool with you.

You're taking things personally
that aren't personal.

Did you ask me one question?

-I always tried...
-I... I... I did ask you one question.

I did. I actually asked you
several questions...

-That's not true...
-Please let me finish.

If you're gonna ask me the question,
let me answer it.

-Maybe we have a conversation with Jason...
-Are you gonna let me answer?

-And ask about it because...
-Let's do that.

-Yeah. Why not?
-Call him.

-Call him?
-Yeah.

[phone rings]

[dramatic music plays]

-[Jason] Hey.
-Hi, babe. Hi. I'm here with Chrishell.

Okay.

Yeah, I think it's just she doesn't
really want to be friends with me,

and she told me it was
because I was jealous, I was crying.

I never said you were jealous.

Those words never,
one time, came out of my mouth.

-Not one time.
-Okay. But...

She didn't tell me that
when I talked to her.

I have never... I... You know this is all
on camera, right? I didn't just say that.

-Am I going crazy?
-Okay, then you said that I was, um...

annoyed about you,
or I don't know what you said.

Then repeat yourself.

I'd be happy to,
but please don't put words into my mouth.

-I don't appreciate it.
-Guys, is it...

[dramatic music continues]

Do I have to be on this call?

-This is so ridiculous.
-I'm really sorry, Jason.

What am I missing that happened
when the four of us hung out in Australia?

That was not a nice time,
and I thought it was. What happened?

-It was a nice time, but you...
-But I didn't ask you enough questions.

It is not my job to ask you questions.
I'm sorry. It's not.

But it would be nice,
because I'm Jason's girlfriend,

that we could get along...

-And also talk in a normal way.
-We asked you how long you lived in Paris.

-When you're going back. We asked you...
-No. G asked me.

[dramatic music continues]

Ah... Are you kidding me?

I really like G a lot.

She's so nice to me,
but you weren't nice to me.

-That's why I'm saying...
-Okay. My partner uses they/them pronouns.

-This is a simple thing.
-Sorry.

This is the depth of our relationship,

where the most important person
in my life,

you don't know their pronouns,
which is totally fine.

But my point is
that you also don't know me.

I won't be your friend.
I don't have anything in common with you.

But isn't the friendship
with Jason worth it?

-Guys, can I get off the phone?
-To have a conversation with me?

-I don't like...
-Yeah. Okay, goodbye, babe.

-I love you, sweetheart. Bye.
-I love you. Bye.

I feel like I'm losing brain cells
on this conversation.

You're so emotional about it.

I just feel like, maybe,
there's also feelings left or something.

Okay, here we go.

I'm going to check out
of this conversation.

This is not worth it to me.

I'm friends with Jason,
but I don't need to be.

-I know.

Emma, let's talk about Lloydcrest.

[Emma] Okay, so speaking of price,
what are you thinking?

I definitely want it to go
for at least 20.

-Hitting that 20 range. Okay, I see you.
-Yeah. How do you feel about that?

We need a serious reduction
if we're gonna sell that thing.

I mean, I agree.

I've told him that,
and I think it's a tough conversation

because he feels like it's worth X amount.

When's the last time we showed the house?
How much interest do we have?

I've had no showing requests.

[mysterious music plays]

So it's been sitting,
overpriced, for months?

Like when you see the same person
over and over on Raya.

You don't want them
'cause you wonder why they're still there.

-[Brett] Perfect analogy.
-Right. I've had conversations with him.

And he's not interested, or hasn't been,
in lowering the price.

I talked to him a little bit,

and I ran into him
at a restaurant a couple days ago,

and he was open to a big reduction.

[Emma] You guys are out having drinks.

Of course he's gonna be like,
"Yeah, no, I agree."

But when it comes down to it, he wants
his number, and he's pretty hard about it.

The problem is,
if we don't sell the house in two months,

the mansion tax kicks in,

and he has to pay
an additional $700,000 to the city.

Starting next month, the new mansion tax
comes into effect in Los Angeles,

so everyone is trying
to sell any house over $5 million

before the mansion tax comes into effect.

I think it's your responsibility
to get this thing priced right.

So what do you suggest we lower it to?

Lower it $6 million.
From 19 million to 13 million.

Six million dollars?

That's the biggest price reduction
we've ever done in the office.

Double the biggest reduction we've done.

-But he needs it.
-It needs to be six million?

It needs to be listed at $12,995,000,
and it'll sell somewhere in the 12s.

When's the last time
you had that conversation?

Maybe now that it's closer
to the deadline, he'll...

Two weeks ago we had a conversation.

I explained the tax thing
and everything like that.

I'll have the conversation again.
It's just it's such a big price reduction.

I wouldn't be suggesting six million
if that tax hadn't passed,

but the tax passed,
and now we're up against the clock.

We can't afford to wait.

We need to get in front of the market
and list it at $12,995,000, period.

Otherwise, we should walk away
from the listing.

I'll call him tomorrow.

You know,
I think it's an important reduction.

It's just I respect him as a businessman,
and it's not the funnest conversation,

but I'm down to do it.

I have never had to ask a client
to reduce their selling price by 30%.

I think it's a conversation
that needs to be had,

but this is such a big ask

that this could potentially ruin
my relationship with my client Micah.

The next year will be about real talk
with our clients about price reductions,

because sellers have not got the fact
that this market's softening.

This is the new reality for us.

[Brett] Mm-hm.

And for all of our clients.

[Jason] Tonight,
I'm throwing a huge dinner party

-Yo, bud.
-Hi.

-How are you?
-You grow since I last saw you?

I've invited all of the LA agents
and a few of the OC agents

-Wow. This house.

This house looks incredible.
Jason's gone all out.

What better place to celebrate
our ten-year anniversary.

♪ All of my dreams, yeah
They come so clever... ♪

-Hi, beautiful.
-Hi.

I've been with Jason and Brett
since basically the beginning.

Ten years has gone by
in the blink of an eye, it seems.

There's a reason that I am loyal
to the brand that The Oppenheim Group is.

Jason kind of just showed me
the real estate world,

so we go back a long,
long ways, personally and professionally.

-This is not even real.
-Yeah.

Oh, my God, there's literally ivy
growing in the house.

♪ Goin' up like an astronaut ♪

♪ I can't stop
Makes me feel alive ♪

♪ It's factual ♪

[Jason] Yes!

-Do I look like the house?
-Awesome. You do.

And I brought a little bag, just to give
a message to everybody tonight.

Anytime someone starts to say
some sh*t you don't...

Walk it over there and just set it
right in front of them and then walk off.

How is the market
down in Orange County right now?

With the mansion tax going into effect,

I feel like in the next few months
we'll see a big change.

-Hi.
-[Nicole] You look stunning!

Mwah! How are you?

I can't believe it's been ten years.
That's insane.

I can't believe you haven't accomplished
anything in ten years.

From the first woman
to call me a real estate mogul...

-Way before I was a real estate mogul.
-[Amanza] I did.

[Chelsea] Hi, beauty.

-Hi, my love. You look stunning.
-So do you!

Jason lived at the top of a hill
in somebody else's guest studio.

A 500 square foot... You know.

But it had an amazing view.

And this was like,

I had just gone through my divorce,
and I was crashing on his couch,

and then you go... I don't wanna say this.

Tell the truth. Tell the truth.

Every morning, Jason would get up,
and he'd walk through butt naked,

and he would go out to the stoop
overlooking the beautiful city,

with freaking baby powder,
and he would powder his balls.

-[Marie-Lou] Why?
-I just... I don't know.

You'd see a big... And he'd go poof!

[laughs]

Can I take that purse from you?
I think you've said enough.

-How about those Lakers?
-Yeah.

[pop music plays]

-Thank you much.
-Love you, bitch.

See you tomorrow. Love ya.

Should be a fun dinner.

And we don't get
a chance to get OC and LA together.

It's a nice change of scenery.

Where's, um, Chrishell?

She's actually not gonna come tonight.

-Why? Oh?
-She doesn't feel great, so she's gonna...

Marie-Lou won't have
anything to worry about.

Wait, what?

You're so tall I can barely kiss you.

Last time they were
all together as a group,

I think Marie-Lou
got a little jealous of...

Jason was getting a little too smiley
around her, maybe?

-I don't know the exact...
-Jason does get very smiley.

[Jason] It's gonna be a special night.

Yeah, I'm so happy everyone's coming.

Yeah, it's nice to get everyone together.

I'm so sad Chrishell's not here.

I know.
She's the only person missing it, huh?

She's not a jealous person.

I think Chrishell's
just not very friendly with her.

-Really?
-I had dinner at Jason's the other day.

And she was like,
"Everybody else is very welcoming,"

but she said Chrishell's just not
very friendly and approachable.

No, but I've literally seen
Chrishell go up and hug Marie-Lou,

and I was like, okay...

I mean, to be fair, I think
it's always a little bit weird, right,

when you've got
a newer ex with the new girlfriend,

especially when the ex is a smoke show.

-f*ck. Chrishell's so f*cking hot.
-Oh, yeah, she is.

I would be like,
"Oh... that's my competition?"

I mean, Marie-Lou's gorgeous,
but Chrishell's a woman, you know?

I don't like that she's missing
the big celebration.

Plus, I'll be making
a big announcement tonight,

so she'll miss it.

Is it a proposal?

Oh, sh*t.

[sultry pop music plays]

♪ I was beggin' ♪

♪ For you to come around ♪

[Bre] Emma, can we talk?

Oh, my gosh.

Um, I wanted to talk to you because I went
to preview a property with Amanza,

and she actually said that Chelsea
was saying she was the messenger.

I'm like, "Messenger for who?"

I feel like, if everybody felt
a type of way in the beginning,

I can completely understand that.

You don't know me,
the Nick situation, everything,

I totally get
people are gonna feel a certain way.

But at this point, I'd really think I have
a good relationship with everyone.

So I was really thrown
by her conversation.

And I felt like out of everybody,
I was really close with you

because we've bonded so much,
so I wanna come to you

and address you first
because that's my nature.

As far as I know, nothing was mentioned
after getting to know you.

I know for a fact, with me nor Chrishell,
it was never mentioned.

Heather never mentioned.

So I don't know, you'll have to ask
Chelsea to get more details.

Yeah.

Because I'm just like,

"Are you just trying to find an alliance
because you took it too far?"

Or is there really people talking sh*t?

Because there's really no in-between.

-I'd be really hurt and upset if...
-And you should be.

I'd never say anything about you.

Chrishell would never say anything.
And Chelsea knows that.

End of story.

So...

I'm like, "Who the f*ck is left?"

With Amanza, it was very like,
f*cking playing Clue or some sh*t.

I don't know
what Amanza is talking about now.

I didn't like how vague she was either.

If you know something,
aren't you my friend? Tell me.

-You are friends with Amanza, right?
-So I think.

-What are you trying to do here?
-Yeah. No, no, no...

If you know something,
why aren't you telling me?

See, if I'm friends with somebody,
I tell them if I know something.

-I mean, you know that.
-Exactly.

I don't really know why Amanza
is bringing me vague information.

It is stirring the pot a little bit.

I'm not really sure who to trust
or what to make of this.

I'm so confused.

I would be too. Now I'm confused.

Is Amanza telling the truth
or stirring the pot?

This dinner's gonna be really fun.

[funky music plays]

-[Bre] Good lord, look at this view.
-[Chelsea] This is so nice.

Famous last words, "We will have fun."

[music continues]

Oh, my gosh, I'm next to Emma.

-[Jason] Sweetheart, you're here.
-[Romain] Sweetheart.

Not you, sweetheart.

-Can I have a sh*t?
-Would you go on a date with a female?

[chuckles nervously]

Good question.

-Would you?
-I haven't. But, I mean, I'm open.

-I haven't either. I'm dating around.
-[Chelsea] See what you like.

I definitely have
more tequila in my life than women.

[Jason] Can I interrupt, ladies?

Brett and I would like to give a speech
to celebrate our ten-year anniversary.

Well, it's not our ten-year anniversary.

-[Jason] Yeah.
-[Brett] It's the brokerage.

Many of you have known us
for quite a long time.

So I think you guys know
the bumpy road that it took to get here.


in a one-bedroom apartment,

switching off between the couch
and the bedroom with my buddy.

Brett, you weren't doing any better.

I was somehow doing worse than that.

Yeah, we put a desk in the second bedroom.
We started The Oppenheim Group.

No idea what it would become today,
of course.

A couple years later,
I think we did something

that'd probably get an F
in any business school,

open a big office on Sunset Boulevard.

We'll spend all the money we have
building it out.

We'll hire all of our best friends.

-[Alex] Yeah!
-We're gonna sell real estate.

-The world's worst business plan.
-Right!

Nicole was there
in the 500-square-foot apartment.

Sorry, I couldn't buy you shoes or nice
gifts back then. Mary, you neither.

You're so much better off than these two.

[Brett] Your timing is way better.

So, as you guys know,
every other brokerage is cutting back.

Literally every single brokerage
is f*ring staff

and cutting back on office space.

And we're expanding,

and we're opening up
a new Los Angeles office

right next to our existing office,

and we're gonna spend
seven figures building that out.

And we trust and hope that you guys
will make this business plan a success.

I know that statement wasn't aimed at me
because I'm putting in the work.

The other girls need to get on my level.

[menacing music plays]

You know, Jason, we're really proud
of this whole new venture.

I just hope the OC office doesn't end up
subsidizing this new LA office.

[Nicole] Fightin' words.

Just within a very short amount of time,
he's opened up the Cabo office,

a San Diego office,

and then now he's doing a new,
larger LA office.

But in such an unstable market,
it's a little nerve-racking.

So you're not at all worried,
just given the market, inflation...

[Jason] I am worried.

I've always liked to make strong moves
when everyone else is doing the opposite.

And I just want you guys to step up
and not make me regret it.

Jason could have just sat us all down
and said we need to work harder.

Like, he didn't have to spend
two million of his own dollars

and then put it on us
to replenish his bank account,

but everybody does things differently.
[chuckles]

You guys have gotten
a bit complacent lately.

Personally, I have not.

Guys, the agents in OC
work their asses off. I'm not kidding.

-We are bringing in more money.
-How much do we have in listings now?

Over 400 million...

-You have 400 million in active listings?
-[Alex] Yeah.

Then why are you wearing
a Fashion Nova dress?

When you're new, you f*ckin' hustle.

I cannot stand
the woman in the orange dress right now.

There will be a couple more desks
we can fit in there, so...

-Are there gonna be new agents?
-Hopefully, a couple.

Can they be psychologically evaluated
before they take a desk?

[menacing music continues]

I've only been in the office
for just over a year,

but there's a lot of people in the office,
a lot of personalities, a lot of opinions,

but be willing to learn and grow

and maybe try to accept people
for who they are.

Wait, Chelsea, say it this way.

-Do you have to interject every time?
-[Amanza] Yes! It's called liquid courage.

What would you like me to do,
Amanza, Lord?

Practice what you preach.

[dramatic music plays]

Well, this isn't awkward.

Girl, what are you doing?

Fun times.

So, dynamic is obviously a little,
maybe, different, OC, LA,

but I don't know how you guys
handle confrontation and things like that.

We've definitely had
some issues with bullying.

I don't know if that's
something you guys have had.

Little bit.

[Emma] Are you serious?

I just think it's hard to feel bullied
when you're the person attacking.

I mean, you att*cked Chrishell,

then you att*cked my character,
then you say bullying.

You just gotta take some accountability.

[Jason] You guys, guys...

I don't really feel like
rehashing this again.

I have no desire to whatsoever.

Maybe just stick to facts
because that's just not accurate.

That's all that we do.

-No, it is not.
-[Amanza] No, we don't.

Let me lay it out. She started it.

Thank you.

[Amanza] Chrishell defended herself.

Is it okay for them
to speak on their situation?

[Amanza] Want me to shut up?

Actually, I have something
to say about this.

If you start some sh*t,
and somebody defends themselves,

you're not the victim.

-Thank you.
-[Bre] I'm sorry.

What drives me crazy
is people's opinions who were not there.

Okay. So what's your story?

-What do you mean?
-[Bre] What's your story?

Let's hear it, since it's so different.
What's your story?

Because I'm so tired
of the victim narrative in this office.

Everybody, grow up. You're an adult.

-Take responsibility.
-Did I call myself a victim?

You were like, "I'm being bullied."

Wait, wait, wait, guys.
This is not a g*ng-up on Nicole.

-We're not ganging up.
-It seems like two on one.

I don't care what you have to say.
You weren't there.

-You do care.
-[Nicole] No.

You're using my words against me.

I'm repeating what you just said.

I don't care what anyone else thinks.

-But you att*cked Emma.
-[Nicole] You don't...

Hold on!

Time out! Everybody needs to f*cking stop.

Cut the sh*t,
the bullying, the ganged-up on.

-Everybody at this table is insecure.
-I'm not.

And it is affecting the brokerage,
our friendships.

It has gotten so below the belt,

and everybody needs to be honest,
tell the f*ckin' truth,

regardless if they are directly related
to the actual first initial drama.

Everybody needs to cut the sh*t.
