What the hell did you guys do?
We're not gay!

We're just following the story.

[LAUGHING] That's not the story!

You guys put that together.
That's... That's slander!

You can't air that!

Oh, of course we can't.

I mean, at least not
without your permission.

- Which you'll never get!
- Oh, that's too bad.

'Cause the truth is,

tonight's probably
the end of the line for you.

Things are looking
a little dry with Serena.

- You're going home without a fiancée.
- Yeah.

And, you know, without even making,

like, a real name for yourself
or your culinary dreams.

Such a shame,
'cause it's such a good story.

I mean, after years of wondering
why you're still single,

you come on "Everlasting"
only to discover

the love you've been
looking for in a man.

Oh, the eyeballs we'd get.

Oh, on the show, and on you!

What are you suggesting?

Uh, you know, part of me
has always wanted

to get into the restaurant
business, right?

- How 'bout you, Chet?
- Well, you know that about me.

I've just been looking
for the right chef to invest in.

Yeah, and all you have to do
is lean into the narrative.

DR. SIMON: It's complicated.

Rachel's history with this place...

I can't give you specifics,

but Quinn hired me specifically
to safeguard Rachel

after what happened last year.

Why? What happened?

Well, as you know,
Rachel was hospitalized.

It was a real breakdown.

And I-I'm just saying, having you here

may be more than Rachel's
equipped to handle.

- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- Hey! What the hell are you doing?

- Nothing. I'm just talking to your dad.
- About what?

Hon, I had no idea you
were under so much stress.

- What did you tell him?
- Nothing.

Dad, whatever he told you, it's a lie.

Rach, we have to do something.

Seriously, what is this?!

Rachel, I was just explaining
to your dad

how challenging things are for you here.

Look, I don't want
to be a burden, right?

I just want to be a dad.
That's all I ever wanted.

- You've completely crossed the line.
- I didn't.

Yes, you did. You went behind my back

when you knew I'd be gone
and put ideas in his head,

when I explicitly told you
that he was okay.

He's not okay!

He's not well, Rachel.
He needs to be in a facility!

Stop telling me what to do.

Dad?

You're gonna be a tabloid hero.

And with all that press and our support,

you could open a restaurant anywhere...

Weho, Chelsea...

Vegas. On the Strip.

None of this downtown resurgence crap.

- And I wanna be bi.
- Okay.

No problem.

Sexuality is so fluid these days.

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

ASA: Quinn!
Where the hell is Quinn King?!

- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

Where the hell is she?!

All you people with your... your
cameras and your walkie talkies,

and you're talking in her ear,
trying to control her! I...

- I'm gonna need to get Rachel.
- Hey! I heard that.

WOMAN: What the hell
is he talking about?

I don't have voices in my ear.

I had Olive in my ear
for a very long time,

but I don't... have her
in my ear anymore.

- Mr. Goldberg, I don't think this is...
- You stay right where you are.

Don't you come near me. I see you.

What are you doing to her?

You're hurting her, you know that?

And you have to stop it.

I will not let you
poison my little girl.

She has more... more guts
and more talent

than any of you,
and you are ruining her!

Let me talk to him, all right? Dad.

I have to protect you.
I couldn't protect you before.

Listen, I don't need protecting.
It's okay.

No, sweetheart, it happened in my house.

What that man did to you
was in my house.

It should've been the safest
place of all for you.

- Come on. It's okay.
- Please forgive me, sweetheart.

- Come on, Dad. Come on.
- Can you forgive me?

- Rach, let me...
- I'm okay. I got it.

Yeah. I mean, like, no, not really.

Quinn, look.

You don't even understand, okay?

I mean, like, I had to get him

Your mom is a witch, I get it. But
your dad does not belong on set.

I'm just keeping him here
until I can get him off

all those dr*gs that she's
forced on him all those years.

Like, I can do it. I did it for myself.

I can help him. He just needs to detox.

Okay, Rachel, you gotta take
a b*at, all right?

I get it, but this is beyond you.

Your dad needs real help.

No, I can do it, Quinn, okay? I have to!

Okay, listen to me, all right?

you'll somehow fix yourself,

I'm sorry, Serena, but before

I have something to say.
I'm cutting myself.

This is hard for me to talk about...

someone here I care for

who's not Serena.

Being here, I realized

the truth about myself.

And I found a different kind of love.

I'm off to Sin City, folks!

I'm opening a new restaurant in Vegas.

On the Strip. Coming .

See? I told you guys he was here
for all the wrong reasons.

Oh, my God. Did you see that?!

What, is he gay now or something?

Ooh, that!

The squeeze that launched
a thousand Tweets!

Hmm. Well, can't wait for
Twitter to get ahold of that.

Well. That was unexpected.

But I still do need to cut
one more of you tonight.

Warren, I get that you think
that I'm the one for you,

but I think you should go find the...

the person that
you're supposed to be with

as soon as you can.

Oh. Bye-bye, Brokeback.

[CHUCKLES] That was a bonus, right?

Yeah. It's the perfect ending.

MAN: Okay, yeah. That's a cut.

Can we get somebody in here to
blow out these candles?

You can't do this.

I can't do what?

I didn't screw Guy...

not him or... or any other dude, okay?

How many times do I
have to tell you? I'm not gay!

Mm, except now, there's no way
you can say that on TV

without sounding like an assh*le.

So, what am I supposed to do?
This is my life!

I make TV, Warren.
