I bet you have.

[BOTH LAUGH]

[GRUNTS]

All right, now don't
make me miss my class.

Well, you can be late
once in your lifetime.

- Uh-uh.
- It's all right.

I need this workout today.

I have a hundred-trillion calls,

followed by lunch with the judge.

I didn't know your mother was
on the Vineyard today.

Me, either, until three hours ago.

You know Dyan, she loves an ambush.

[LAUGHING]

- What?
- "Dyan."

I got breakfast.

- Love you.
- Love you.

[GIA] That she had sex
with other people,


that her husband liked
to watch...


that wasn't it.

The first time I saw her,

I understood why she was hated.

Sloane got what she wanted.

And we still don't like it when
a woman gets what she wants.


You don't play fair.

It's like we want our mothers
to want to f*ck us.

You know what I mean?

[LAUGHTER]

I do.

Gia.

From the other night at The Atlantic.

- Right. Hi.
- Hey.

And this is actually Sloane,

the friend I was telling you about.

Oh, right, the one
with the good stories.

It's, uh...
it's really nice to meet you.

Yeah.

"The one with the good stories"?

She's working on a research project.

[SLOANE] Oh, a research project.

I met her through Nili.

Exactly which of my stories
have you been sharing

with weirdo white ladies
doing research, Hel?

Do you even know who the f*ck she is?

Oh, my God.

Who cares?

You know what, I'm happy you're meeting
your mom for lunch.

- You f*cking deserve it.
- Okay.

- Mm-hmm.
- Love you.

Love you.

Hey!

Oh, hi.

Uh, isn't it a little cold for sailing?

It is, yeah.

I'm just dropping this off
to a customer up on Squibby.

"Customer"?

Yeah, I built it.

Pardon me?

You build boats?

- I do.
- [HORN HONKING]

See you.

All right, yeah. Have a good one, okay?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

There she is.

We said 12:30.

Doesn't matter now. You're here.

Where is Sophie?

We agreed I wouldn't bring her.

No. We agreed you would.

I-I must have misunderstood.

You look good, darling.

- Do I?
- You do.

That suit.

Thanks, Mommy.

Something else to drink, miss?

Riesling, please.

So, you never said why you were here.

Opal's retirement party.

Elegant dinner last evening.

Oh.

Who planned it?

They wanted something less...

unusual than what you do.

They used someone from Boston.

We do traditional.

Of course, sweetheart.

But I will say, it was beautiful.

Mm.

Thank you.

So Opal's retiring.

Does that make you
the last one standing?

It does, mm-hmm.

Are you thinking about it?

Retirement?

No.

I'm thinking about
the 500 cases on my docket

and the keynote I'm giving
at the bar association

luncheon next week.

[LAUGHING]
What if you just didn't show up?

For any of it. Just...

booked a trip to St. Lucia.

Do you remember that trip we
took when I was nine, the one...?

I worked harder than you will ever know

to get here.

I'll go when I'm good and damn ready.

I just meant it'd be nice if you
had a chance to travel more.

- [LAUGHS]
- Relax.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Thank you for lunch.

I'm heartbroken to miss Sophie.

If you'd set up in Sag,
we wouldn't have to do

these hysterical catchups.

- I know.
- Family connections.

Easy commute to the city.

It would've made building
the business so much easier.

The business is thriving actually.

I know. Richard said...

And I asked if you wanted me
to bring my child,

but you said a restaurant
isn't a place...

No. I merely said, at a
restaurant, her extra energy...

It's not extra, Mother.

It's just energy.

I'm not being critical, Sloane.

I'm just concerned.

I love her.

And children with her concentration

- issues may need additional...
- She doesn't have issues!

She doesn't have issues.

She's your daughter.
I'll trust you know what you're doing.

Thank you for your faith in me.

I should go.

Three o'clock ferry.

Love to Richard. Kisses to Sophie.

f*cking cu...

- [GRUNTS]
- Are you okay?

- Can I help you?
- Oh!

No, no, no, no, no, no! Tom Fords!

Oh, no, not the Tom Fords.

Uh, excuse me?

Sir, could I please borrow
your wine key?

Thank you.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

[GRUNTS, EXHALES]

- Okay, you're amazing.
- [LAUGHS]

I see my mother once a year
and that's one time too many.

Mm-hmm.

I read a psych book in college

that suggests a lot of mothers
are jealous of their daughters.

- Yeah?
- That's my hunch with yours.

Because, if you'll forgive me
for objectifying you,

you're absurdly gorgeous.

This was very kind of you.

You bet.

[YELPS]

[SIGHS]

[TURNS WATER OFF]

[SIGHS]

Where's the kid?

With your mother.

She just left with her.
I thought you knew.

Went for ice cream.

What? No. She said...

She said she'll take the later ferry.

She was always taking a later ferry.

f*cking...

I wish you would've called me.

Please don't take
your anger at her out on me.

You're right. I apologize.

- Hey.
- Hey.

When's she dropping her off?

I'm meeting her at the dock,

uh, in an hour.

I'll go.

Hey.

You might want to unclench your jaw.

Thank you.

You gonna be okay?

I'll power through.

Yeah, you will.

[BOTH CHUCKING]

I love you, sweet pea.

I love you, Grandma.

- Be good.
- I'll try.

Uh, don't try...

- Do.
- Do, thank you.

All right. Oh, wait. [PUTTERING]

Next time, ask first.

Forgive my spontaneity.

Bye, love.

How was that?

Did Grandma let you get
the ice cream you wanted?

No. We got her favorite.

- Mm.
- Butter pecan.

And, Mom, it's amazing.

Also it's "pee-con," not "pee-can."

Did you know you've been saying
it wrong your whole life?

No. I was not aware.

Will?

Hi.

Hey.

So this may be a little random.

But now that I know you build boats,

I was thinking...

Yeah?

Do you think you could fix this?

I-I don't know. Let me see.

- I got you.
- Okay.

Got it.

I mean, I could, uh, I could try,

but shouldn't you take it
to someone who's,

like, an expert on things like this?

I'm asking you.

I'll pay whatever you think is fair.

Is it important to you?

I mean, I don't want to f*ck it up.

You won't.

You build big boats. This is just...

a little one.

Yeah, this is...

probably as expensive as my big boat.

Probably "expensive-r."

[GIGGLES]

You know what?

I like a challenge.

Well, okay.

All right.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, Sloane?

Um...

how are you feeling
about your flower vendor?

Why?

Mm, I know someone great.

And I think maybe they're more in line

with what you do
than who you're using now.

Oh, you've got opinions now?

I-I'm just saying.

If you want to shake things up
next season.

[LAUGHS]

You think we should?

Shake things up?

I think you could have more fun.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

And thanks.

You're welcome.

[Hypnotic, sensual music]





[BLOWING]



[FAINT POP MUSIC PLAYING]

[EXHALES]

Whew!

Thought I'd make my girls
some breakfast.

Well, that smells amazing.

Eh, figured you'd have an appetite.

Can we watch a movie tonight?

Sure thing, sweetheart.

So I, um...

I found someone to fix the little boat.

Hmm.

Will.

The oyster guy?

He's a woodworker, too.

- How do you know that?
- [LAUGHS]

I saw him hauling a boat that he built.

- That he built?
- Who are you talking to?

Why don't you take it to an expert?

He said he could do it.

And if he fucks it up,
we're gonna be upset.

Uh, you were ready to throw it away.

What's the issue?

No issue.

Let's eat. Sophie!

Breakfast, honey. [LAUGHS]

Actually, um, I need to get going.

I'm auditioning a new flower vendor.

[DOG BARKING]

[WIND CHIMES JINGLING]

Wow!

- Oh, sh*t. It's you.
- [LAUGHS]

- Uh, hi. Yes.
- Hi.

It's you. Wild.

Um, uh... [LAUGHS]

I was referred by Will Attaquin.

Come in, come in, please.
Come out to the back.

Want some tea?

- [WIND CHIMES JINGLING]
- [BIRDS SINGING]

- Oh, you're so f*cking hired.
- Really?

- Really.
- Will said not

to get my hopes up
because you have a vendor

that you've been using for years, so...

It's time for something new.

Okay, let's celebrate.

Um...

- What? Too early?
- For cocktails?

No.

[LAUGHS]

It leans sativa...

in case you got sh*t to do.

[LAUGHS]

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS QUIETLY]



This is smooth.

Home grown right there
in that very greenhouse.

Hmm. Nice.

Mm.

It's a strain of White Widow

that I inherited from this old
hippie grower down the street.

- White Widow, huh?
- What?

You never heard of White Widow before?

No, I've never heard
of a White Widow before.

[LAUGHS]

- You got any kids?
- Mm, no.

- Why, "Mm, no"?
- [LAUGHS]

You seem like one of those women

grown to be a mother, like, a great mom.

I mean, is that even possible?
Like, a great mom?

Someone? Somewhere? Maybe?
I don't know. [LAUGHS]

My mother, I love her to death.

She is an amazing person,
but, like, a terrible mom.

Like, at no point has she ever
enjoyed the job.

- [LAUGHS]
- When I was 16,

and the youngest of three,

I could just tell
that she was, like, at her limit

with being a mom, you know,

so, uh, for her 40th birthday,

I offered to emancipate myself
and move out,

- and you know what she did?
- What?

She f*cking thanked me.

[LAUGHS] That's cold.

And real. I do like real.

I think that's why
I'm, like, such a gusher.

Isn't it great when our mothers
turn us into better people

just by sending us screaming
in the opposite direction?

Your mom seemed impressive.

And so are you.

Hmm.

Well, my mother is impressive.

- What's her sign?
- Uh, Scorpio.

- f*ck!
- Mm-hmm.

Your mother's a f*cking Scorpio?

Yeah, but wait. A Scorpio Phoenix.

What's that?

A person who survives.

My grandmother d*ed in a car accident

when my mother was 17,
and she was in the car with her.

- f*ck.
- Mm-hmm.

She still manages
to build this amazing life.

Like, incredible career,
beautiful family.

Raises money
to save the rainforest and sh*t.

Mm. I feel like rich people are,

like, always saving things
for themselves.

- At least they're saving them.
- Ha.

- "They"?
- What?

I don't give a sh*t
about the rainforest.

- I'm sure you don't.
- I'm actually a family f*ck-up

like you wouldn't believe.

Shut up.

You're like...
Anniversary Edition Barbie.

Well, I spend a great deal

of effort on appearances,

and I work obsessively
to prove I am not.

All for Mommy?

I want her to know I'm good.

- And it hasn't worked yet?
- Not yet.

Well, I think you're a cool-ass chick.

- [LAUGHS]
- Thank you.

No, thank you.

I'm so stoked to work together.

It's just, like, always awkward

when your partner recommends you
for things, so...

You and Will?

Uh, does he live here, too?

Yeah, only when his boat gets too cold.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[slow, gentle music]



[GIA] She wanted Will so badly,

but attached to him
was this woman


that Sloane did not want
to give a flying f*ck about,


but already, somehow, she did.

f*ck!

- You can go a little bigger.
- [DOOR CLOSES]

Okay, I'll do that on the next one.

- Mom.
- That was a long-ass meeting.

Everything okay?

Everything, uh... everything's fine.

Mm?

So, you liked the flowers?

Uh, of course. How could you not?

- Mommy, help us.
- Uh, just a minute, baby.

You know, um, these need some water.

Okay.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[SIGHS]

[SLOANE] You did a beautiful job.

[SIGHS] I did, didn't I?

- [SLOANE LAUGHS]
- Yeah.

I was... I was nervous
as hell the whole time.

Shut up. Really?

I don't do nervous.

I have it ready this time.

I was happy to do that.

It was... it was fun.

No. Please.

I insist. Your time is valuable.

No. Really.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

So, Lily's going to be great.

Good. Yeah. That's good.

Thanks for the rec.

She seems like a real catch.

Yeah. She is.

Hmm.

You know what? I-I think... I should go.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

Look, you... you're in
something, and I'm in something.

And we're all working
together now, so...

Understood.

[SIGHS]

But...

[slow, suspenseful music]



I'll see you out.

Okay, so, we got
the white alba, the Sri Lanka

and the red wild rice.

[Pulsing, haunting music]



Actually, let me get
back to you on that.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, you.

You, hey.

I saw you, just now,

through the window... with him.

He dropped off the boat,
and he did a good job.

No, I'm trying to say that I was wrong.

Clearly, he's into you. My bad.

He is, and he's right there.

If I run, I'm sure I can catch him.

No, no, I'm not... I'm not saying that.

You don't even have to be there
if you don't want.

No. These-these are the rules.

That we made and can change.

Baby, baby, I want this.

And if you don't want to see it
happen, you don't have to...

No. No. No f*cking way.

- [TRUCK DEPARTING]
- Why? He's just a guy.

Is he? You hired him to work for us.

He was just in there.

- Working.
- Hmm.

What is the big deal?

Babe, listen, it's just,

I don't want him involved.
I'm not comfortable.

Okay?

Can you just give me that?

I give you a lot.

[LAUGHS]

[SMACKS LIPS]

[SLOANE]
But I really want to f*ck him.

- Just once. That's all.
- [LAUGHS]

Listen to you.

Just the tip, just for a second.

One stroke.

- One fully ex*cuted stroke.
- [LAUGHS]

That's all I'm saying.

You're siding with Richard.

I'm siding with reality.

And you're working with his girl?

This sh*t is messy, Sloane. Let it go.

Promise me
you won't f*ck him this winter,

when all you locals get up
to who-knows-what.

You're on this island
for 48 hours right now,

and you're telling me my business?

Promise.

I promise.

Liar.

[BOTH LAUGH]

At least stay away
from Will's white girl.

- I like her.
- [SCOFFS]

You know it's just a matter of
time before she shows her crazy.

- She's nice.
- Oh, she's nice?

She's nice.

[LAUGHING] You have lost your mind.

Everything is copacetic.

Mm-hmm. Well, I have a couch

waiting for you in BK
when all this sh*t blows up.

[LAUGHS]

- [LAUGHTER]
- Mm.

No, no, she did.

Sophie once said that to me.
"You're the wrong mom for me."

[LAUGHING] Oh, my God.

They can be total assholes sometimes.

- Sometimes?
- Mm.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

These are on the house.

What?!

Oh, f*ck.

I think she means, "Oh, thank you."

- Mm.
- Mm.

He knows that's what I meant.

It's just, I just... I got to prep
for this call I have tomorrow.

No. Stay with me. Blow it off.

And not exceed everyone's expectations?

I have heard

that you can be a real f*ck-up
when you want to be

from a very reliable source.

Cheers.

- Mmm.
- Mmm.

- Slippery.
- Mm-hmm.

[SLOANE LAUGHS]

Will only lets me
put lemon on his oysters.

It's like, I miss
f*cking cocktail sauce.

You should have cocktail sauce
whenever you damn well want it.

Yeah, right? And you, you should
have whatever you want.

I know.

That's what Will and I, like,
talk about all the time.

It's, like, why are we working
so f*cking hard

if not to just do what we want?

When we want.

- Yes.
- No harm in that, right?

Mm. [SNIFFLES]

Well, I...

should let you get back... to Will.

I don't even know where he is right now.

He's been, like, hiding out on his boat,

which he does sometimes,
but he's just been really weird lately.

Hmm. What's going on?

It's coming up on two years,

this, like, two-year mark.

And I know he's a free spirit
and everything,

but, like, I want more than that, so...

You gave him a deadline?

Not, like, a deadline,
deadline. I just, like...

If after two years, he's not
like, "You're my person,"

then I should probably move on.

Much as it would k*ll me.

And this week is our anniversary,
so I think he's avoiding me.

[SLOANE CHUCKLES]

You're married. You get it.

I do.

I also get not wanting to get married.

You regret it?

I don't do regret.

Wow.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

You know, like, I want kids.

Like you said,
I was grown to be a mother.

You were.

Look. Forget deadlines.

Just go over there right now

and f*ck him on his cold, little boat.

- [LAUGHS]
- In fact, f*ck him twice.

That's what I would do if I were you.

- Is it?
- Thank you.

She's paying for me, too.

[Singing in foreign language]



Hey, now.

What's all this?

I know you were disappointed
in, you know, the other thing.

- Yeah?
- I thought

we could have some fun tonight. Mmm.

Sophie's on a sleepover.

Who else is coming?

Kira and Isaac.

I'm sorry. You invited them to dinner,

or you invited them as our guests?

We've had a good time with them.

The rule is we agree first.

Well, aren't you tired of the rules?

Stop.

I thought you'd be happy.

I mean, baby, last time, you had
more fun with Kira than I did.

Still.

You want me to cancel?

I'll call them right now.

That's because you don't trust me.

Because you never believe me
when I tell you

you come first.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm holding onto you

by a thread.

That's weak...

as f*ck.

[DOOR SLIDES CLOSED]

[SLOANE] I've, uh...

I've missed you.

[WILL] Yeah.

It's an even better view than your pool.

[SLOANE] Mm, just barely.

Something about this time of year.

It always feels to me like a wedding
that ends in a funeral.

Too dark?

No.

No such thing as too dark.

Why don't you come
and tell my family that

at Thanks... in about a week,

when the drama returns.

Are you trying not to say
the "T" word in front of me?

Maybe. [CHUCKLES]

I mean, you're right. I don't partake.

Lily goes home to see her folks,

but Thanksgiving's not
a holiday in my family.

I eat crab legs off of my boat.

[SLOANE] Mmm. That sounds perfect.

[FOOD SIZZLING]

[CHOPPING]

I'm just saying, leave it to Sloane

to be the party girl her entire life,

and then find a way to get paid for it.

- [LAUGHS]
- Truth.

Don't look like that, sis.
You know it's true.

Except it's not. Daddy?

Oh, leave me out of this.
Adult sibling riffs are

out of my jurisdiction.

Sloane was merely pointing out
that hard work can

transcend circumstance.

[DYAN] Exactly. As you've done, Richard.

Challenging background, no inheritance,

massive student loans,

and still you've found a way to climb.

I'm very proud to call you
my son-in-law.

[RICHARD] Thank you, Dyan.

That means a lot coming from you.

But, Mom, you're proving V's point.

Sloane had all the advantages,
but it wasn't until Richard

that she got her act together.

That's not true.

I had a whole entire
Italian life. Are we forget...

[LAUGHING] Oh, Italy.

It was barely four years, darling.

[STEPHEN] And then you found Richard,

and he was the north star
to your ghost ship at sea.

Ghost ship. I love that, Dad.

- Oh, come on. Come on.
- [GABE LAUGHS]

Come on, everybody, let's ease
off a little on Sloane.

Gabe, be nice to your sister,
she's sensitive.

[MUTED CHATTER CONTINUES]



Hey, Sloane, you mad, man?
sh*t, I was joking.

- [CHILDREN CHATTERING]
- [RUNNING FOOTSTEPS]

You all behaving yourselves down there?

Yes, but can we watch a movie?

I'll go.

No, I've got it.

I want to make sure it's
age-appropriate for the twins.

Excuse me.

[OTHERS MURMURING]

[GABE] She should learn
how to take a joke.

Sloane, they were mostly just teasing.

Are you kidding me right now?

Okay, what, what...

Could you, uh...
Could you give me a minute?

I just need a minute.

- I'm fine.
- All right.

[DISTANT CHATTER CONTINUES]

[SMOOTH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

I, uh, I promised Sophie
some eggnog last night.

We don't have any.

Richard?

Yeah, yeah, okay. Hurry back.

[BOAT CREAKING GENTLY]

[SLOANE] I hope it's not weird I called.

I'm glad that you did.

I've been thinking about you.

I-I can't seem to stop.

I've tried, but...

Is this the White Widow
all the boys like?

[SIGHS]

Oh, f*ck.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Okay.

- Mmm.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Well...

Handle it.

Are you for real?

Are you?

[ZIPPER OPENS]

You mean like this?

Yeah, actually.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[WILL MOANING QUIETLY]

- [WILL GRUNTS]
- Not yet.

- [GRUNTS]
- Now.

What, did you get lost
at the farm stand?

I went for a drive.

Hmm.

I can handle anything
except you lying to me.

I'm not lying.

Okay.

I ran into Will.

Nothing happened, and...

and I...

I don't know why I didn't just say that.

The toilet didn't flush
all the way, babe.

How long?

Just today.

First time in a long time.

My family, you know. Right?

I'm fine.

One and done. I promise.

Okay.

Okay.

[RICHARD] We're gonna be all right.

As long as we're honest.
