Sophie Suarez, will you marry me?
- [SOPHIE] Yes. Yes. Yes.
- [ALICE] Why are you hanging out
- at a sports bar?
- I bought it.
And I'm gonna make it a gay bar again.
Can I trust you to run this place?
[TESS] You f*cked my girlfriend, and you want to know if you can trust me?
[SHANE] I hope I can make it up to you one day.
You jeopardized the campaign.
I'm painfully aware of that fact.
Angie called me.
Is there a part of you that still wants her? You can tell me.
[NAT] I want you and her.
[SHANE] So, you're a throuple now?
[FINLEY] She's, like, a super cold hot lady.
[SOPHIE] You know who else is hot?
- Bette Porter.
- [DANI] You can't deny
that she's special.
- I want you to talk to me.
- I don't have anything to say!
Carrie asked me to marry her,
- and I said yes.
- Congratulations.
[GRACE] Have you told that sweet boy
that you love him yet?
'Cause he loves you, too.
[FINLEY] You should've been there for her today.
- She really needed you.
- [DANI] She knows
I'm f*cking tapped out right now.
I-I'm giving her all I've got.
[BETTE] Are you sad about her getting married?
[ANGIE] Yeah. A part of me always hoped that
you two would get back together.
Please, don't go.
You have a really wonderful daughter, and I love spending time with her.
[NEWSMAN] Jeff Milner
will be the next mayor.
- [BETTE] What are those?
- [SHANE] Divorce papers.
[QUIARA] You're incapable of loving
anyone but your f*cking self.
- [MACKLIN WHINES]
- [NAT] You tried
to make it work with my ex-wife because you thought it would make me happy.
- I love you.
- Just me?
[NAT] Just you.
- [SCOTT] You must be a new fan.
- Yeah. I'm Micah.
- I'm José's husband.
- [RODOLFO] I'm afraid when things get hard, she's gonna leave you because, uh, that's what she knows.
[DANI] Dad, we love each other.
- And we're good together.
- [MOANS]
- Are you gonna tell Dani?
- [SOPHIE] No.
- It's never gonna happen again.
- Let's get married.
You've always wanted to go to Hawaii.
We can go tomorrow.
I'm going home. To Missouri.
My flight's tonight.
[SOPHIE] You're my person.
You're, like, the best part of my day.
I love the sh*t out of you.
[FINLEY] I love you, too, man.
[DANI] I just want to be your wife.
But I'll always be here for you.

Ugh. Isaac Zakarian.

[LAUGHS] He's an international megadealer.
I mean, pretty much the biggest in the world, right?
That he is.
- [CARRIE] Wow.
- [TINA] Bette used to refer to him as the Armenian devil.
Oh, isn't that a little bit r*cist?
Uh, I don't think I ever said that.
[CARRIE] Yeah, well, that's the kind of thing that could've cost you the election, you know?
Yeah, but I never said it, so...
I mean, that must've been horrible for you, losing like that.
I mean, what that must've been like for you,
- I can't even imagine. Right?
- [MUTTERING]
What, honey?
No, I just... Since Hillary lost, you know, it's all I think about.
These women losing elections.
It's not right.
Well, nobody likes losing.
[CARRIE] Actually, I'm a pretty good loser.
You know, public defender and all.
I give it my best, and then I move on.
Do you have a better Kn*fe?
This one's kind of dull.
- [BETTE] Sure.
- Um, does Angie know we're here?
[BETTE] Uh, I told her.
Hey, Angie?
I think, you know, you guys should start, so...
Be easier for Angie.

Kind of. But there's meat in the middle.

I'll have both.
So, we're... We're thinking about doing it this summer in Palm Springs.

And we're gonna have a chicken and waffle truck at the end of the night, so all your friends can come.
Anyone you want. [CHUCKLES]
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm...

- Okay.
- Right?
- It's a lot, I know. It's just...
It's not too soon, just, um, that you're the first to know.

- Yeah.
They-they wanted to tell you all together.
Right. Your moms and me, like the Three Amigos. [CHUCKLES]
You don't have to take it all in at once.
No. No, no, no. No, that's not it.
Um, you know... [STAMMERS] it's just weird that I'm gonna...
meet Carrie's family before I know anything about this other, like... big part of me.
- What part of you?
- What do you mean, sweetie?
Um... you know, uh, my donor.
I thought you said it was a friend of yours.
He wasn't a friend.
He was just someone that I knew, and we had an agreement that he would remain anonymous
- until Angie turned .
- He was an artist that Bette knew and... Yeah.
- [BETTE] You knew that.
- Yeah, I-I know, I know.
Um... but I still want to know more about who I am.
Of course, of course.
But, you know, if you still feel that way...
- When you're .
- ... when you turn , right, then we wouldn't stop you.
But, um, you're not yet.
It's just one more year.
You know, Angie, I did one of those DNA tests where they swab your mouth and you send it away and they tell you all about your ancestry, you know?
- [ANGIE] Yeah.
- Turns out
I'm a hundred percent Irish, which was not a shock.
But I, uh, I found a whole lot
of cousins down in Florida.
All of them were-were so kind to me.
One of them owns a Jet Ski store.
- Yeah.
- Right?
And he had every famous person in Florida there
in the store... even had Obama.
- [LAUGHING]
- He has a picture like this with his arm around Obama.
- [LAUGHING] Yeah?
- Who I heard is ten percent Irish, which means we could be cousins.
Think about that.
That's-that's... that's cool.
Can I do that?
- Um...
- Um...
well...
N-No.
[TINA] You know what, sweetie?
Why don't you let me and your mom... we'll talk about it after we eat.
- Yeah, sure.
- Let's just talk about it.
Sure. It's not a big deal either way.
Just, you know, um...
- Look at this.
- Yeah.
Look, it's cut so nicely.
- It's so doughy.

[BETTE] Back in the day, whenever somebody left a museum job to become an art dealer, we used to say, "They've gone over to the dark side".
[SCOFFS] That's a little overly simplistic, don't you think?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Maybe. A little.
So, Bette... [EXHALES] what you were doing at CAC almost years ago, combining art and social activism, nobody was doing that back then.
I assume you still care about those issues you championed?
I don't know if you were paying attention, but I ran for mayor.
- And I voted for you.
- [CHUCKLES] Bullshit, Zakarian.
All right, look, you can go back to being a museum director.
I know you've had a lot of offers.
And you could mount a show every couple of years that moves the needle incrementally for artists of color.
Or you could join the biggest art house in the world and represent dozens of marginalized artists and pay off your campaign debt the first year of your contract.
Hmm.
You know, I could be a little irritated that, in your myopic vision, you've somehow associated me solely with BIPOC artists, when, in fact,
I've worked with pretty much every major artist of the last two decades.
But, instead, I will simply point out that you represent exactly three artists of color.
Which is another reason I need you.
I mean, those marginalized artists are suddenly the hottest commodity in the art world.
And I find, for the first time in my career, that, uh,
I'm behind the curve.
So I will meet your salary demands.
[CHUCKLES] Wait. You're not gonna...
You're not gonna insult me with a lowball offer?
[SIGHS]
Plus, a signing bonus for all your BIPOC artists.
No.
Signing bonuses for all artists I add to the roster.
Of course.
Plus ten percent of sales.

You were the one who introduced us.
I know, but you know.
Now we share something in common.

- Did you want to...
- I got to... I'll be right back.

Oh.
[BETTE] God, I never know what to write in these things.
[ALICE CLEARS THROAT]
- You okay?
- [ALICE] Huh?
Yeah, I got to take care of a thing.
So, have you heard from Eddie?
She is not exactly answering my calls.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Oh, Tess, I'm sorry. I...
I know you loved working there.
I really am sorry.
Something like that. Yeah.
Tell me.
I didn't love it, I needed it.
There's a difference.
Hi.
Well, let me make it up to you.
It's okay. You don't owe me anything.
So what's going on with you two?
- Hi. How you doing?
- Hey.
- Good.
- Let's go.
All right. Okay.
You want to be quiet about it. I get it.
- [SHANE] Are you coming?
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you for inviting me.
- [ALICE] Hey.
- Hey.
Hi. I got your text message.
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, everything's great.
Oh, you look incredible, by the way.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
- And, uh, I didn't tell her.
- Oh, God. Okay.
- Thank God. Yeah.
- And you'll never tell
- a soul, right?
- No. Never.
Never. No.
And I think that I can't accept your job offer.
We just, we, um, we want to start a family.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, I get it. Sure.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Um, thank you.
- Yeah.
- I'll, uh,
I'll see you down there.
Okay.
