[plane intercom chimes]

Captain VO:
Good morning passengers.

This is your
captain speaking.

We are commencing descent into
Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

Local time is 5:07.

Quick show of hands,
whose dad is dead?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dead dads. So real.

Am I right?

We ask that you
please consider

how you're going
to live your life

after you step off
this aircraft.

I mean, think about it.

Really think about it.

You're not gonna be on this
plane forever, ya know?

Yo, I started vaping!

'Cause I decided I'm gonna be
celibate for the next year

and I have a very
sensual ecosystem

so if I take pleasure
away through one door,

I have to bring it
back through another.

I've had to seriously
up my aromatherapy game.

I thought the celibacy
thing was a joke.

Celibacy's not a joke.

I'm rebooting my love lens.

Your "love lens"?


There's just so much
more to focus on.

Like the calibre of artists
I'm attracting to Brlin

is very boom, Sabi.

Energy follows intention,
right?

"I don't wanna f*ck you,
I wanna book you."

Oh my God, I can't believe
how work focused I am.

I'm the best.

Okay, I'm gonna stop.

Stop what?

Stop talking so
you could talk.

Have you reached
out to Bessy yet?

Oh my God, I don't
want to talk about it.

It was a kiss. It happens.

You're gonna lose an entire
friendship over that?

You have a point and I still
don't want to talk about it.

All you gotta do is text
her and be like, "we good"?



'Cause she'll probably be,
"we good".




You said you have
something before work?

Sabi:
Yeah, I got a thing.

Very happy
with this.

Leaving the house
to go to work

somehow feels
very subversive.

Oh, new office vibes.

This carpet looks so comfy
I'd trade my bed for it.

It's actually scratchy
when you lie down on it.

You've laid down on it?

Yeah.

No couch, huh?

No.

It's nice to get to
decorate, you know, on my own.

Thank you for being
interested in seeing all this.

Sabi:
Of course I'm interested.

I also thought it'd
be good to connect

'cause, you know,
it's been a minute.

You okay?

Yeah.

Paul:
No, I...

I mean, if you don't
mind me asking,

are you okay?

Your dad and everything.

You sit in that chair
and you're like,

already therapizing.

Am I?

Sorry.

I'm fine-ish.

Sabi, I get that you have
a lot to process right now,

but I...

if it's okay for
me to ask...

we, like us,

like the kids and Bessy,

we could just use
some clarity on...

are you coming back?

Damn, yeah.

Is that a yes?

Oh no, sorry,

that was like a "damn, yeah,

"I think you should
get to have clarity."

I guess I'm not coming back.

Well, you should tell Bessy
because you should tell her.

I can talk to the
kids if you want.

I can tell the kids.

And Bessy?

How's she doing?

Ah, rehabilitating well.

Paul?

Yeah?

What?

Nothing.

Wow! Okay.

You know, have I told

when our work-from-home
days sync together?

I should check to see
if I have work messages.

Izzy:
No, no, no.

Ugh, I could dummy a

Hmm?

Violet:
I'm concerned about the
smell in this basement.


It's fine. I wanna welcome
you to Brlin's new offices.

She can't go
near the alcohol.

She's not hired yet.

This is a first in
a potential series

of intricate
interview stages.

Wait, how many
interviews are we doing?

Deenzie:
Do I have to be here?

I could be restocking

or researching who
got m*rder*d here.

Just hold up a sec.

Vi, what should
we be asking you?

Um...

You should ask me how I feel
about the responsibilities

this job comes with.

How do you feel about
the responsibilities

this job comes with?

I'd say I'm down to
do anything to help,

which I know will include
getting you lots of coffee

most likely.

Most likely.

What else?

You should ask me what
my weaknesses are obvi,

which is my age,

'cause this is my
first job ever.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

What else?

Why I want this job?

'Cause I fricking
breathe art.


One sec.

With all your
accumulated experience,

what's the gut
feeling here?

Are you gonna go
near the alcohol?

No.

You're hired.

You can't
unilaterally hire her.

You're not hired yet.

You're the only one
that she's interviewing.

[Violet squealing]

Deenzie:
Hey, cupcake.

Hey.

Hi, Vi. How you doing?

I'm good.

Okay.

It's empty.

Ms. Kanji:
Okay, um, I am here
to provide clarity

around the terms
in Imran's will.

I'll start, oh?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Ms. Kanji:
I'll start

by going over what each of the
beneficiaries are receiving,

as that may help with some
questions you may be having.

Are we ready to start?

Oh yes, please, go ahead.

We're ready.

So, the first thing is that
the ownership of this property

will be transferred
over to Raffo Mehboob.

The property has
been fully paid off

so there's nothing
to deal with

or worry about
in that regard.

Through Imran's life
insurance policy,

Raffo will receive approximately


Okay, now, Imran
was a shareholder

at the company
he worked for

and he has assigned

his shares of said company to
his nephew, Kareem Mehboob.

To me?

Yes.

Ms. Kanji:
Are there any questions
at this point?

Sabi:
I thought Dad worked
in construction?

He was an aluminum dealer.

Kareem:
For a pretty reputable
building company in Dubai.

Ms. Kanji:
May I go on?

The money remaining in
Imran's bank accounts

will be divided between his
children, Sabi and Aqsa.

Seventy-five percent of the
total remaining to Sabi,

and twenty-five
percent to Aqsa.

Boom.

I couldn't get out
of bed for weeks.

The loss that you're going
through is changing you.

Lean into that.

Hey, can we?

Yeah, we should.

Do you want me to start?

Yeah.

Kissing happens.

It does.

And I think...

I mean, I feel
like it's right

that I should take
responsibility for it

because I'm older and I
was technically your boss.

And I had way more
power than you.

Yeah, but I'm also
a living breathing

consenting human adult,

and even though you tried
to kiss me originally,

it only actually happened-

I love being with you

and I know that you
love being with me.

And that is f*cked because,
Sabi, you're the nanny.

I was the nanny.

And then the caregiver,

but this whole time
I've been your friend.

Look, my family has been
through a lot, okay?

And I...

I don't wanna add the
complication of whatever this is

to it all.

You're cutting me off?

Look, I can't, um, I
can't sit here anymore.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna pay
for the bill on the way out.

No, Bessy, I think I...

Hey.

You're here late.

Bessy:
I've been wanting to
tell you for a while.

Sabi and I kissed.

What?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Bessy:
It was a couple
of weeks ago.

Look, I was majorly
projecting sh*t onto them

because they were
taking care of me

and their dad just died

so no one was in
their right mind.

What's up?

It isn't just
hard for Violet

to know how to be
with me, is it?

Is that where you
were tonight?

Seeing them?

Yes.

I felt given everything
we'd been through

it was important
to let you know

there was something
between us.

And tonight I was cutting
it off completely.

You didn't need to do that.

I feel so much pressure.

Aren't we technically
not together?

Sabi:
To like, not do the thing

that I know will
make everything

Beta, you don't need
to come all this way

just to check on me
only for a few minutes.

Aqsa:
Are you making chai?

You know he was worried.

Who?

Your father.

The money.

It's not because
you're the daughter.

It's because you know how

I miss those mortals.

Okay, let's go.

So I know how

since I see her at work.

I'm so pumped.
I wanna quit school.

Don't quit school.

Henry, how you been?

Good.

He's been busy 'cause
he's got somebody in geo!

Shut up.

Yeah oh my God
shut up, Vi.

You shut up Sabi and
take several seats.

Oh sh*t, okay, go off sis!

How have you been
doing, Sabi?

I feel it kind of
corny saying this

but it's seriously fulfilling
having you ask me that.

I was just asking.

Sabi:
I wasn't making fun of you.

It just feels nice,
is what I was trying to say.

I did kinda wanna talk about

how I haven't been
around lately.

Henry:
Mom told us.

Oh, what did she say?

It's 'cause you're
grieving your dad.

Oh yeah. She's right.

Yeah.

It's been a lot honestly

but it's also been
weirdly inspiring.

Like we're not gonna
be here forever, right?

Makes me wanna
make some changes.

Or a change.

I think maybe a big one.

Cool.

Cool.
