- This is Marcus.
- Hey, friend!

- Who is this?
- It's Ava.

You don't have my number saved?

No. What's up? Is
everything okay with her?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, absolutely.

Everything's great. Deborah's great.

She's just, um, she's still in surgery.

I was just wondering...

You know what? I was wondering.

Do you... do you happen to know
her, um, her phone passcode?

- And why do you need that?
- Um, you know,

I was actually thinking
I should probably

take some goofy selfies on her phone.

You know, just to cheer
her up when she wakes up.

Well, while that definitely
sounds like something

she'd love, I can't help you.

I don't have the code. She uses Face ID.

[WHISPERED] Face ID, f*ck!

Um, you know what, Marcus?

You can... you can go
ahead and save my number,

if you want, 'cause you
know, we're kinda becoming

[LAUGHS] friends.

- I will.
- Okay, bye.

Oh, no.

Should've tried 'em on.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Girl, did Andre try to sell you
some of his edge growth formula?

Mm-hmm.

- Do you think it works?
- Do you think it works?

Don't forget, he thinks
the earth is flat.

[LAUGHS] That boy's an idiot.

- Yeah, he's a fool.
- Oh, girl.

- We gotta stop buyin'...
- Mom, if you're gonna housesit,

at least close the door.

Honey, why are you home?

Change of plans.

I'm not going anymore.

And Costco, Mom?

You said you were having a few
people over, not a frat party.

I am. I am. I'm... it's not a party.

Miss Loretta, what's that?

- This?
- Mm-hmm.

Party platter.

This is why your
building banned parties.

BOTH: No! No, no.

We got banned because they're
losers and they're jealous.

- They're jealous.
- That hole in the wall,

that coulda been made by anything.

The keg-shaped hole in the wall

could've been made by anything?

That's the one, yeah.

[LAUGHS] Okay.

Well, anyway, now that you're here,

come help me slice
fruit for the sangria.

No, I'm just here to get my camera.

Sanford's showing me some
properties in Huntridge.

Oh, of course.

You got the weekend off from work,

so you're gonna fill it with more work.

Honey, you have caught
a disease from Deborah,

and it's called workaholism.

- Mm, that's bad.
- Mom...

- Hm?
- Flipping houses for me is not work, it's pleasure.

Well, if you love it that much,

why don't you just do it full time?

Because I helped build Deborah's empire.

I'm not gonna walk away from it.

All that work is why
you haven't met someone.

- Oh, okay.
- Which really disappoints me,

'cause I wanna go to a gay wedding.

Girl, I've got an
outfit that I wanna wear

that the straight people
would just not understand.

Oh, um, where are your dog bowls?

I don't have a dog,

- so I don't have dog bowls.
- BOTH: Mm.

See, that's gonna be a problem.

- Yeah.
- Because I said

- that pets were welcome.
- Welcome.

- And, um, encouraged.
- Encouraged.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right.

I've just decided that I'll
be staying at Deborah's tonight

and the cleaning lady will
be here at noon tomorrow.

- Noon?
- Oh, baby-baby, uh,

- let's make it : .
- Let's make it : ,

'cause I wanna sleep in, you know.

- We love you!
- Love you, too.

- He's mad.
- What's wrong with him?

- [LAUGHS]
- Why he don't like dogs?

[KNOCK AT DOOR, DOOR OPENS]

Hi! You look...

Hi.

You look like a ball
girl at the U.S. Open,

and not one of the fast ones.

[CHUCKLES] She seems like herself.

[CHUCKLES] Okay, Deborah.

I'll let, uh, Perla take it from here.

- Perla? No, oh, God, no.
- Hello, Miss Deborah.

Oh, God! Uhh...

- Are you okay?
- Oh, no.

Everything's okay. Miss Deborah and I

just have complicated history,

and she hate me very much.

Okay, let's get you into bed.

Nice and easy.

How are you feeling, my funny lady?

Why are you speaking so slowly?

- I didn't get brain surgery.
- [LAUGHS]

That's a good one. I'll be right back.

Ahh, here. Come here.

- Yeah?
- Uh, get her out.

Okay, okay, I will...

Um, Perla, can we talk
outside for a second?

- Yeah, of course.
- Okay.

Ugh. [SIGHS]

Yeah?

Um, maybe you could see

if there's another nurse available.

- It's not... it's not personal.
- Oh, no, I wish.

No, but we are very booked this weekend

- so everybody is assigned.
- Oh.

Plus, Miss Deborah is long time patient.

And she's known for being,
um, you know, bitchy.

- Yeah, awful.
- Only Perla has special touch.

Oh, wow. Okay.

Um, maybe you could just go

and let me handle some stuff
for the next couple hours.

Okay, yeah. I go for a bit.

She'll probably be sleeping
for next few hours anyway.

Just make sure, if she needs bathroom,

you go with her, okay?

- Ah...
- Because she won't use walker.

Hm? She could faint.

Yes. Of course.

I will accompany my
boss to the bathroom.

Okay, good, call me if she
starts acting weird, okay?

Okay, great. I'll... I'll let you know

if she says anything nice about me.

You funny lady, too.

I take care of you when
you get your chin fixed.

What? Do I need... I need...

Okay, bye-bye.

- Hello?
- Hi, girl.

Do you mind coming
to me tonight to hang?

I lost a contact in the back of my eye

and I think it's a little
risky for me to drive.

sh*t. I'm sorry, Kiki.

I'm, like, an hour outside of Vegas.

I had to come with Deborah
to this weird surgery place.

Oh, bummer.

It's all good, though. Hope
you're getting overtime?

I'm not, but hey,

you don't know Deborah's
phone passcode, do you?

Mm, no. Sorry. Why do you need that?

Oh, did you try her birthday

but ten years earlier
than what's on Wikipedia?

- That might work.
- Of course, I did.

It was the first thing I tried.

But no, I... I just... I had
an awful night last night,

and I was really coked up and...

[SIGHS] It doesn't matter.

I... I... I just... I
left Deborah a voicemail,

and I need to delete it but
her Face ID isn't working

'cause she just had surgery
and her face is swollen.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

I have an amazing idea
but it's kinda insane.

I will try anything.

Nothing, I'm just in a good mood.

- Pancakes?

- Yeah.

Hold please. Come on.

You just had surgery.
You can have a pancake.

Think about it, the
yum melted chocolate,

the fluffy stacks,
the sweet maple syrup?

Do you finish it with whipped cream?

They do.

Have you never heard the expression

Junk food's not worth it.

Are you seriously gonna deprive yourself

It's a classic for a reason.

Great. Thank you. And you know,

I actually do wanna order

Yes. Jokes.

Yeah, it's good for creativity

Yup. Mm.

Should we close our eyes for a second?

Of course, I mean, yeah, we would.

Okay, so we'll close our eyes

Oh, that's such a creepy
way to be woken up.

Do you see what I mean about her?

Let's get your tushy back. Thank you.

I... I need another Vicodin, please.

No, no, no, Miss Deborah.
It's not time yet.

Seriously, Perla.

I am in pa... ain. I
need more painkiller now.

You know, I shouldn't.
I could get in trouble.

Please?

You know, for you, I
give you half, okay?

But it's secret. There we go.

Anything else I can

Bye, Perla.

Well, at least she gave you more, right?

Mm, please.

It's basically children's Tylenol.

But my forehead is sore.

That doesn't usually happen.
Is there a bruise there?

No. No, nothing at all.

I... I wouldn't even think about it.

You know, I actually, I
have some weed edibles on me

that help me with my cramps,

which, weirdly, I'm having early.

Do you... do you want some?

No, I don't like marijuana.

I mean, I already feel like crap.

Why would I wanna take something

that makes me feel lazy and hungry too?

Right, you... you said you hated "grass"

at that Friar's Club Roast.

You had that bit about how
Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

were such stoners that the only reason

they called their band
that is because they wanted

- to remember each other's names?
- Oh, ha... [LAUGHS]

That was funny.

I had completely
forgotten about that joke.

I just saw it the other day, actually.

I'm... I'm almost done digitizing.

I stayed late a couple nights last week.

It's actually kinda fun.

You know the reason I wrote that was

'cause I had a crush on Graham Nash.

I thought that if he heard
it, maybe he'd call me.

Ooh, Deborah. [LAUGHS]

I love that. Did he call?

I don't know. I toured
so much that year,

I didn't even have a home phone number.

[CHUCKLES] I really... ugh.

You know what? I will
take that pot pill.

It's not a pill, it's
a gummy, but great.

And you can take one too if you want.

I was gonna anyway. [LAUGHS]

Big surprise.

I'm traveling with a dope fiend.

- [LAUGHS]
- You know, it's just as well

that Graham Nash never called me.

It wouldn't have worked out anyway.

- Oh, no?
- I hear he's into

- transcendental meditation.
- [LAUGHS]

- What a weirdo.
- Freak, yeah.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Mm.

- That was fun. [LAUGHS]
- Yes, it was.

But next time, you
can call my cell phone

and not the water tip hotline.

- What do you mean?
- Hm. What do I mean?

"Hello, there. Uh, I just happened

to be walking my greyhound, Chessica."

- I did not say Chessica.
- Yeah.

- You said Chessica. Mm-hmm.
- No.

- [LAUGHTER]
- My God, Chessica.

This place is so weird.
Everything's so nice.

It's all like thread count sheets

you're supposed to bleed and ooze on.

Oh, let me guess, you don't
approve of plastic surgery.

Honestly, I just keep forgetting

- to have a take on it.
- [LAUGHS]

I don't know. Look,
it's either good or bad.

I don't have an opinion.

- Thank God.
- Now, God I have a take on.

You should have seen your face!

Oh, God. That was a good one.

Oh, no, no, Perla.
Don't cry, please don...

How could you be so cruel, Miss Deborah?

You can't do that. It's not funny.

I know, it was just a joke!

I didn't... we didn't
mean it. I'm sorry.

[CRYING]

Why are you crying?

Okay, I don't like
this. Perla, you can go.

[CRYING] I'm sorry.

It's not funny!

I thought it was funny.

Oh, it's okay. She'll get over it.

I mean, my God, she grew up in Russia.

[SIGHS] I'm sorry.

I don't... I don't know
why this is coming out now.

I'm just tired and... I hooked up

with that guy you met at
the Casino two nights ago.

And the next morning, he...

he k*lled himself.

Jesus.

Look, look on the bright side.

You know, at least you
don't have to wonder now

- whether he's gonna call.
- [CRYING] Deborah!

[CHUCKLES]

I feel so bad.

Obviously, for him but also for me,

which makes me feel worse
because it's not about me.

[SIGHS] I think shitty
things keep happening

because I've been a
self-centered assh*le.

It's all karma. I deserve it.

Well, I mean you do have
room for improvement.

But karma's not real,
otherwise my ex-husband

would've been the one to suffer.

Instead of, you know,
living a charmed life

and dying peacefully in his hot tub.

Well, not to get too into
the weeds or anything,

but he sorta got his when
you b*rned down his house, no?

I didn't burn down his house.

What?

It was a f*cking dryer
fire. I wasn't even there.

I had taken DJ to a friend's house

when I found out about him and Kathy.

Hold on, you tell
that joke all the time.

It's a joke. It's not true.

Well, everyone thinks you did it.

Mm-hmm.

Why didn't you say something?

Well, I did say something
to everyone back then.

But Frank blamed me, and
they all believed him,

you know, including the cops.

You know, Frank even went to
the press and bad-mouthed me.

If I was crazy enough to
torch the house, you know,

the poor guy must have been driven

into the arms of my baby sister.

Ugh, whatever.

Do you know how to play mahjong?

- No.
- I could teach you in minutes.

Mm, maybe an hour.

Hold on. This guy defamed your ass?

He sounds psycho. I
wanna f*cking k*ll him.

Well, he's dead. [CHUCKLES]

He was jealous.

He hated that I was gonna have
a late-night show so he just...

blew everything up.

He made me the crazy woman
who b*rned down the house.

Our sitcom was cancelled,
and I was broke.

I know they have boards around here.

Hey. We're not playing
mahjong, all right?

- [WHIMPERS]
- So you were broke?

You didn't have any
money from your show?

What can I say?

I was a stupid -year-old, you know.

I didn't read contracts.
Everything was in his name.

And after the divorce, I had to rent

a little studio apartment
and basically start over.

You know what the worst part was?

What?

I had to start doing my
own hair and makeup again.

[LAUGHS] Okay, that is sad.

It was tragic. [LAUGHS]

So anyway, I had to make money,

so I started doing stand-up.

And one night, in this little club,

I made this offhand joke

about burning down
my ex-husband's house.

It k*lled. I'd hit a vein.

So I leaned into that joke,
even though it wasn't true.

You know, hey, might as well
make money off it, right?

And I realized that people
would rather laugh at me

than believe me.

You know what else?

What?

I do want a f*cking
McDonald's french fry.

It would be my honor.

Where's my phone? f*ck.

It's good pot.

- Wow.
- [LAUGHS] I told you.

Now you gotta dip it in
the ice cream. It's...

- Oh, too much.
- Too soon. Fine.

Mm, my stomach really hurts.

I wonder why. [LAUGHTER]

Man, Frank musta been a great actor

'cause he seemed like
such a good husband

on "Who's Making Dinner?"

He was a good husband.

For a little while.

You know, he made me laugh.

We made each other funnier.

It was his idea that we do a stage show

about being a couple.

I didn't even think

that that was possible until he said it.

And we got to make it into a TV show.

It was amazing...

until it wasn't.

I know you're not a fan, but

ha-have you considered...

Therapy?

I did therapy.

It was part of our
custody thingy, you know.

Unfortunately, the guy was
less interested in analysis

and more interested in feeling me up.

Oh, my God! Are you serious?

- Ugh!
- [LAUGHS]

You know, I had to get, uh,
a clean bill of mental health

or I couldn't see my
little girl, you know.

So, you know, we went on a few dates.

Uh, and then, after a while,
you know, I broke up with him

and he... he wanted
to do couples therapy.

- [LAUGHTER]
- Oh, my God!

Are you f*cking serious?

No!

Ugh, they always try to
get you to do a threesome.

[LAUGHTER]

That's... you're making me... [LAUGHING]

I'm gonna... I'm gonna pop a stitch!

[LAUGHTER]

That is absolutely crazy.

Well, that was just the ' s. [LAUGHS]

And you haven't even heard about
when the Vatican had it in for me.

- What?
- Yes. [LAUGHS]

You have to talk about
this in your act, all of it.

I mean, this sh*t is insane
and no one has any idea.

[LAUGHS] No, no one wants to hear me

complain about the past.

Also, I told you. Nobody believed me.

Come on.

You can change your
face but not your act?

It's cha... I didn't change my face.

I refreshed it.

That's something that
you should remember.

Refresh, don't redo.

People would want to hear this, okay?

People either want raw honesty

or f*ckin' ASMR videos
of girls eating soap.

I have no idea what that means.

I'll tell you later.

People don't know half
the sh*t that you've done.

You were almost the first
woman to host a late-night show.

Oh, operative word being "almost"!

It's sad. It's all just sad.

Is that why you want
me to talk about it,

'cause people think it's
highbrow now to tell sad stories?

No, I think you should say
it because it's the truth

and it might just be nice to
finally f*cking say it out loud.

You owe yourself that, I think.

But it's not funny. [LAUGHS]

We've been laughing.

That's because we're stoned. [LAUGHS]

Yeah.

But you can make it funny.

You can make anything funny.

I think I did irritate my stitches.

Can you get me an ice pack?

Yeah.

- Oh, f*ck!
- Ava!

Oh, my God! I think
something's really wrong.

Are you joking? Are you joking?

- No!
- What do I do?

Do I call g*dd*mn Perla? She's...

Oh, my God! [COUGHING]

- Deborah?
- Perla!

- Perla, call an ambulance!
- Okay, if this is

one of your jokes, I'm not buying it.

No, it's not a joke! She's in agony!

- Call an ambulance!
- I don't believe you!

Are you a f*cking nurse, or what?

I'm a fantastic nurse!

I won award two years in a row!

Get her an ambulance!

Ahh!

I'm calling an ambulance!

Do you have any dr*gs in your system?

Uh, cocaine, uh, molly...

- Marijuana.
- Marijuana, yeah, marijuana.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Sounds fun.
- Yeah.

Sounds like you're dehydrated.

No. No, I drink, like,
a glass of water a month.

I'm always dehydrated.
This is way worse.

It... I think it's my appendix.

[CHUCKLES] Miss, I know
everyone has the internet now

but leave the diagnosis to me, hm?

All right? You just need fluids.

Hey, listen to her, you little prick.

You're gonna examine her
appendix then do a scan,

and you're gonna do it quickly.

I am very litigious.

And I would love nothing
more than to bury you

in more debt than
medical school ever could.

RogerLynn, let's get a CT scan

- on Ms. Daniels, please.
- CT!

- Thank you.
- You are welcome. Okay.

Yes. Bye.

[SIREN BLARES]

Hm.

Hi.

She lives!

- What happened?
- You had emergency surgery.

You had an ovarian cyst that burst.

- Oh, Jesus.
- But you're gonna be okay.

I'm glad you're awake, though.

I just remembered something
that happened a long time ago.

I had to do a set in Spanish
at El Matador in Tijuana.

And I k*lled, which was weird

because I don't speak a word of Spanish.

Apparently, one of my boobs was out.

[LAUGHS]

Wait, though. Don't...
don't make me laugh.

You're gonna ruin my stitches.

Oh, you don't have stitches.
It was laparoscopic.

So you're considering it?

What I pitched.

No.

But maybe I'll sprinkle
in a few stories,

you know, on a Wednesday.

Anyway, I will forever love the
Tijuanans because apparently,

they were trying to warn me
about my boob the entire show.

You know, I thought that
"teta" meant "encore."

- [LAUGHS]
- Really, more? You want more?

Yeah, I'll bet they wanted...
they wanted the other boob out!

Oh, my God. Oh, and
then the bus ride back.

Oh, the driver was in a mood.

I asked him really nicely to
drive the bus with both hands,

'cause he was stuffing
