All right, so, like,
should I text her back?

'Cause I-I-I think she,
like, thinks I'm a loser.

You shouldn't be with someone
that makes you feel that way,

especially after the year you've had.

And Jerry, you're not a loser.

You're fabulous.

And you have so much love to give.

You should be with someone
who wants what you want.

Thanks, Dory.

Yeah, I feel like you're the only one

I could talk to around here.

Well, lucky for you
I'm not going anywhere.

Oh, by the way, I made this for you.

Baking class. It's banana bread.

Aw, that's sweet but you know
I can't take it from you.

I know but you don't have to eat it.

Just take it so you
don't hurt my feelings.

All right, just don't tell nobody,
all right?

[LAUGHS]

- Good night.
- Night.

This is Dory Sief.

You may remember me from the past.

You may hate me

or you may love me.

But I have to reach everyone quickly

because I have something
that I need to share,

which is that I d*ed

for seconds.

And in that time,

I received an infinite volume

of unconscious wisdom

and submitted to pure love.

I did it.

And now more than anything,
I want you to do it.

I am going to find a way

for everyone to experience an awakening.

Oh, yeah, that's s...
such a pleasure-y spot.

- Yeah.
- Feeling good.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

- Okay, sorry.
- I'm sorry.

I didn't... don't want to do time out

but is there a bug in my eye?

No, but you look...
it looks like you could be

getting a... an eye infection.
[PHONE RINGING]

Oh... oh, God.

Elliott's called, like, three times.

I just wanna pick this up and
make sure everything's cool...

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Get off me, get off me,
get off me, thank you.

Hi, baba ghanoush.

Have you seen Dory's video?

No, I'm still, like, naked in bed.

Why would you say that?

- Okay, we gotta call Drew.
- Hang on.

- [PHONE VIBRATING]

[MUTTERING] Oh, my God.

[WHISPERING] Go, go, go, go.

Hi.

Hey, I have Portia on the other line.

I'm gonna put us together, one sec.

- Oh, cool.
- Hey, okay.

So apparently Dory fled the institution

and then posted some bizarre video

about the meaning of life.
It's truly unhinged.

- [ECHOING] Whoa.
- Ah!

- [ECHOING]
- So she's just on the lam?

[ECHOING] Mm, no, no, no, no.

I'm looking it up, like, right now.

Mm-hmm.

Wow, so she's still
talking like this, huh?

I thought this was what they
were supposed to cure her of?

Look, I think if she contacts any of us,
we just avoid,

avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid.
And you know what?

I actually can't have this
conversation right now

because it sounds like
you're watching the video

at the exact same time and
it's driving me crazy, okay?

I'm gonna hang up.

You know, I keep
refreshing and she gains

- [GROANS]

million followers

Are my shoes...

glued to me?

So my question for you is this.

How can you die?

How can you k*ll off your ego?

How can you fall into the cosmic

I don't know what the answer is,

but I do know what the question is.

How can we all die?

Let me know in the comments below

which solution resonates most with you.

I love you.

I really did. I connected
with the people

but they didn't have
any trust, you know?

And... and without
trust you can't... oh,

thank you, Helen. Thank you.

True, true.

So, you know, I just...
I had to find a way out of it.

And you know, I feel like I have

this new mission to just spread peace.

Mm-hmm.

And I can't afford to be stopped.

Well, that certainly is a worthy cause

but let me just give
you a morsel of wisdom.

Mm-hmm.

If you tell the unpopular truth,

they will try to stop you.

They always have and they always will.

That's right.

Well, you have come to the right place,
baby.

We were a part of the West Village .

- No way.
- Yes.

- Wow. That's incredible.
- Yo... your generation,

you had so much energy
behind the causes, you know?

That's what I want to harness.

I want everybody to feel this with me.

- Oh, they will... you know why?
- Hmm?

You're starting a revolution.

[STRUMMING BANJO]

Okay, so I've been going down the whole,
like,

Dory Sief wormhole,
and I'm kind of, like, obsessed.

She's a gay icon,
and I've been a big fan since day one,

like, during the whole
sh**t trial and everything

and I tried to get a drink with her to,
like, no avail

but I'm like kind of honestly here

for this comeback,

you know what I mean?

Like, I love the fact
that she's dead now.

No one's ever done that before.

And I kind of... I'm
honestly thinking like

should I die too?

Like, should I be dead?

You know what I mean?
Let me know in the comments.

Hmm.

- [SCOFFS]
- Hello.

Hello, dear friends. Tunnel Quinn here.

Hey.

You know, the last person in the world

that I'd have ever
thought would be giving me

spiritual advice is Dory Sief.

I mean, I followed
that court case closely,

and I'm of the ilk
who definitely believes

that she... she k*lled that guy.

And the idea now that she'd
be encouraging anybody to die

is highly unsettling.

This woman is not enlightened.

I think it's a merely

an escalation of her psychosis.

No one should listen to her.

There's only one person that
you should ever listen to

and that is me.

Which reminds me,
the new T-watch is coming out in what?

Just days.

All get on the waitlist, people.

[BABBLING]

Hmm.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Hello, everyone.

It has come to my attention

that the tech billionaire
and flamboyant personality

Tunnel Quinn has publicly
challenged my authenticity.

And what I would like to say
in response to that is this.

Tunnel, I would
encourage you of all people

to try to understand
what this could mean.

As I start to unpack the process

of my enlightened experience,

I cannot deny or ignore
the unpopular truth

that death may very well
be a potential gateway

to an integrated and awakened life.

I would love to hear your expert opinion

on... on the science behind all of this.

I love you, Tunnel.

Okay, well, that's good.

I really do hope it's
different this time,

our lives have been insane.

We went to court for k*lling someone.

Can you believe that?

You guys all convinced
me to bury a body.

I mean,
the craziest part of all of it is that

we actually k*lled someone.
