All righty. I got all our snacks.

Hot wings, hot Cheetos, hot pretzels,

and the latest edition, hot beers.

Mm. Ugh.

That's the last time
I listen to Guy Fieri.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh God, I've summoned him.

That's our Postrabbit.

I hired someone to pick up
our Game Station X.

- Freddie Benson?
- Yeah.

Postrabbit here. I have your

Thanks so much.

I just got a Game Station, too.

Cool.

Hey, is this your phone

It is, why?

Oh, I just thought I could
maybe use it sometime for...

For what? Identity theft?

Please delete it.
And I'm giving you no stars.

Dude, what the hell?

That cute Postrabbit
was totally in to you.

[SCOFFS] She just wanted a good tip.

Here's a good tip.

You're going to die alone.
She wanted your number.

So did that Nigerian prince.

Oh, was he free Friday for drinks?

- We got to get you dating again.

Who do I know who loves a short king?

My friend Ramona.

- She's beautiful.
- Looks fade.

- She's spontaneous.
- I'm a planner.

She's a nuclear physicist.

I know you have a work emergency

but can't I just stay home?

You sure can,
but Grandma B is harvesting

our garlic kombucha so...

- Yeah, that 'bucha stink.
- Mm-hmm.

I guess hanging with Carly
is slightly better.

You'll have fun.

I like you hanging there
when your mom's out of town.

Carly and Harper are strong,
intelligent women.

They're good role models.
I love you. [SMOOCHES]

Same.

Defense, defense!

Okay, well, that's got to be illegal.

BOTH: Travel!

- Are you two watching sports?
- God, no.

It's our favorite reality show,
"The Real Widows of Wisconsin".

It's kind of like sports
except these ladies

throw shade, flip tables,

and normally don't shower together.

Yeah, great role models.

And right now, they're fighting

about the big trip of the season.

- Cincinnati.
- Ooh.

Countess Debra was miles
from diamond status

and couldn't use the lounge.

BOTH: Commercial break.

Would Freddie even let you
watch a show like this?

He doesn't need to tell me not to.

I don't play in the gutter.

Oh hush, this show is how
Carly and I met.

I was working at Skybucks

giving my blazing hot RWoww takes.

Which I agreed with , % so...

When I went on my break,

we talked about the show
the entire time and that...

Was the foundation
of a lifelong friendship.

Harper was there for me during
the hardest time in my life.

When Beau dumped you in front
of millions of subscribers?

No.

When I cut my own bangs.

And when I needed a place to live

Carly said I should move in here.

And I'm so glad she did
because now she's my BFSS,

Best Friend Since Sam.

And she's my BFUMCER.

Best Friend Unless My Cousin
Ever Resurfaces.

At least you don't call
yourselves something dumb

like Carper.

Oh, my God that's even
better than Carhar.

We should get new mugs.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

You know cheeses of the world

was the theme of my bat mitzvah.

- You're Jewish?
- No, I just wanted one.

- [NOTIFICATION CHIME]
- Oh, no.

What? I learned Hebrew and everything.

Not that.

I just got an invite
to Seattle Fashion Fest.

Oh.

And it's addressed to me and Bo.

Oh.

And you know he's going to be there.

Bo attends every opening imaginable.

He'd attend a cesarean
if they had to step-and-repeat.

You're joking, but he had one
at his mom's funeral.

Which still seems better

than running into my ex
and his new girlfriend.

Yeah, but you know
what's better than that?

Crushing it in front of your ex
and his new girlfriend.

Also burritos.

Picture it.

You, gorgeous gown, hot blow out,

a tiny little clutch

that couldn't possibly hold anything.

Cute earrings.

Although will you be able
to see them with a blowout?

Good point. You should do
a statement necklace.

Yes. Wait, this is fun.

Okay, let's do it.

I'll go to the event,
but only if you style me.

Really? Are you sure?

I mean you should be because
I'm amazing, but just checking.

Yeah, it's your dream to be a stylist

and if I'm wearing something
you picked out,

it'll almost be like having you
right next to me.

So you in?

I have a million ideas already.

Great. I just have
a couple tiny requests.

Nothing too bright, but not too somber,

love ruffles, hate frills,
classic, but daring.

Love sleeveless. Hate my elbows.

Can you do something about that?

My mom knows a doctor
in the Cayman Islands,

but he might not have a license.

So what do you think?

Rite Aid. $ . .

You look like you're auditioning

- for a high school jazz band.
- Is that good?

Maybe Ramona likes jazz.
Should I write her a song?

Whoa, daddy-o. Let's not
get ahead of ourselves.

You haven't even met her yet.

Yeah, I know, but just
the fact that I'm excited

means that I'm ready, Spencer.

You have put the ready back in Freddie.

You may be ready, but whoof,
have you seen those eyebrows?

You should go take care
of those bad boys.

Okay, but this works though.
I keep this.

I love it. Yep.

Problem. I showed Ramona
pictures of Freddie.

She doesn't want to go out with him.

This could scar him forever.

Relax. It happens to everyone.

Else.

Just find him another date.

But then he'll know she rejected him.

It'll crush him before
he even gets back out there.

It's got to be Ramona.

Unless it doesn't.

I've got an idea.

Oh, he's just not going to tell us.

I thought we agreed.
This is your moment to shine.

Totally. But like

Like I just got out of bed

and was all
"Oops, I just blazed a trail".

Maybe I haven't been clear enough

about what I'm looking for.

No, effortlessly trailblazing
could not be clearer.

I know. I'm sorry.

It's just the thought of going
out on the red carpet on my own

and seeing Bo and Lita.

It's just hard to choose
an outfit for an event

I'm not that excited to go to.

Ooh, maybe you just need
some arm candy of your own.

And I have the perfect guy. Trenton

And he is just your type.

- Okay, I'm in.
- Yeah!

Wait, is this another one
of your man-me-downs?

We... never.

Did we?

No. I'm % sure we didn't.

[SCOFFS] Fine.

This is why I got you those
color-coded Post-it notes.

Right, right.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

- How much do I owe you?
- Nothing.

But I would accept
your phone number as a tip.

You're sweet, but a date
with me cost an hour.

And I bet it is worth every penny.

But yeah, I don't have that
so have a great day.

Excuse me. Hi.

Are you the lady from the errand app?

- If that's what you want to call it.
- Wow.

Are all the women that work for
your company this gorgeous?

My friend hired someone to
pick up his package last night

and she was stunning.

We have all different types
working for us.

But we all know how to handle a package.

That's great to hear.

So let me cut to the chase.
I'm pretty desperate.

Most of the guys I work with are.

Then you'll have an easy time
with Freddie.

I just need you to have coffee
with him tonight.

Just coffee? That's it?

Yeah, but

I need you to pretend to be
a woman named Ramona.

- Is that weird?
- Ugh, honey,

For the rate you're paying,
I'll be whoever you want me to be.

Let me just send you
the payment request.

- And we're good to go.

Ouch. That's a really high rate.

Well, we're the best at errands.

And done.

Okay, so my friend Ramona

Sure. And I own plenty of costumes.

Yeah, I go Monday, Tuesday,

Got it.

So have you decided on what

Uh, hello, there's no pictures.

Wow. You're really bad listener.

Harper said we'd be perfect

I have an -year-old daughter.

Okay, Zaddy.

Well, I will look that up later.

Are you just coming from work?

No, I'm just getting started

I just came from the lab.

Did you know that

the mitochondria is the

Yes. And did you know that
some cells in multicellular
