It's open.

So how that Boy, you got

to say something. What's up?

What's good, man? What you doing here?

Yo, I need you to roll up at this mixer.

- Can't. Got a date.

- A date?

- Yeah.

- With the chick from The Grove?

Nah. This chick Lacy hooked me up with.

- Lacy.

- Yeah.

Okay. So I've been trying to

hook you up for the longest,

and you're going to

take Lacy over your boy?

Dude, those girls are way too young.

They're barely out of college.

- Exactly ripe.

- Whatever, dude.

Talked to her a couple of times, though.

She seemed pretty cool.

She's got to bring her son on the date.

Her son? Wait, she got a kid?

Yeah, a 6-year-old, bruh.

[LAUGHS]

Yo, you sure you ready for that?

'Cause a kid is a lot of baggage.

You're gonna always be in

competition with the son

because most single moms

treat the son like the man of the house.

Yeah, but that's the reality

of dating in your 30s.

Okay, I can't deal.

Look, uh

I need you to contact Alicia for me.

You still haven't heard from her?

No, nothing.

Dude, I told you to stop

playing with her, man.

I'm not Let me see

your phone real quick.

- For what?

- Shh.

- I'mma check your Instagram.

- Use yours.

- She blocked me.

- Dude, I don't follow her.

Okay. Well, that's

fine. It's not private.

It's private.

You think she's seeing somebody else?

- Bro.

- Seriously, tell me.

You think she's seeing somebody else?

Dude, I don't know.

We can play "Inspector Gadget" later.

I gotta go.

All right. Go ahead. Do your thing.

You're right. You're right. I'm good.

- All right.

- Be good, bro.

You too. Have fun for me.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Nice to finally meet you.

- You look nice.

- Thank you.

What's going on, little man?

Say hello, Brock. Don't be rude.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

He's fine.

- So, how was your day?

- It was good.

Thanks for understanding me

having to bring him along.

I can't believe my babysitter

canceled on me last minute

and I couldn't find a replacement.

Oh, I totally understand that.

JASON: [THINKING] Is

this little m*therf*cker

really going to touch all the bread?

Is she not going to say anything?

Do you understand all the germs

that's being passed right now?

Stay focused.

This is what happens when

you date someone with kids.

You know, I really just

want to get to know you.

Lacy told me so much about you.

She talks about you all the time.

- Really?

- Yes.

This is a big step for me.

This is the first date I've

had since Brock's father left.

Wow. Okay.

So how long has it been?

- Two years.

- Oh, wow.

- So it's about that time.

- Mm-hmm.

When was your last relationship?

A year ago.

How long were y'all together?

Three years.

That's a long time. Why

did you two break up?

Mommy, Mommy, I want nuggets!

Okay.

When the waiter comes over,

I'll order some for you, okay?

Is nuggets your favorite food?

Brock, do you hear Mr.

Jason asking you a question?

[CHUCKLES] I'm so sorry.

I can't believe he's acting like this.

You know how kids are.

What are you gonna do?

JASON: [THINKING] Whoop his a*s.

Kids will be kids.

So what happened to you and your ex?

Just wanted to make sure that

she was 100% the right person,

and I don't think she was.

And it took you three

years to figure that out?

Well, things started out great.

But the last year, it

was it was a little rocky.

A lot of arguing, and

that's just not who I am.

Do you see yourself getting

married or do you want kids?

Yeah, eventually.

Well, I think you would be a great dad.

You're so sweet and patient.

Well, I'm a work in progress.

But I want to know more

about you, Miss Danielle.

So what would you like to know?

I'm an open book.

What are you looking for in a man?

Stability, loyalty,

someone I could trust,

especially with my son.

You know, someone who's understanding.

Definitely.

All good qualities.

Mm-hmm.

Excuse me. I have to

use the ladies' room.

But I wanna hear what you're

looking for when I get back.

Definitely.

- Do you have to go, Brock?

- No!

[LAUGHS] Do you mind

watching him for a minute?

- I'll be right back.

- Sure.

All right, Brock, stay with Mr. Jason.

I'll be right back.

Okay? Okay. All right.

All right.

Hey.

Let me tell you something.

Don't think you're going to be my daddy.

Hey, let me tell you something.

Don't think I want to be your daddy.

All right, guys. Can I take your order?

Nuggets!

Thank you guys so much.

JASON: Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Thanks for treating

Brock and I to lunch.

You're welcome.

Say thanks, Brock.

Well, Mommy, at least

his card's working.

Remember we were at the store yesterday

- and your card didn't work?

- DANIELLE: Okay.

You had to put everything back.

- But no, remember, Mommy?

- Brock. Brock. Brock.

He's fine. He's fine.

We gotta go. Let's go.

[SIGHS]

Okay. Bye.

- Shoo, shoo.

- [LAUGHS]

I am so sorry, Jason.

Let me get this boy home.

Okay.

I look forward to doing this again,

but next time, I will

definitely have a babysitter.

Yeah, okay.

You two have a good day.

- Okay. Bye.

- All right. Bye.

She won't see me again.

Ladies, don't bring your

kid on your first date.

And if you do, at least

let him have manners.

Carmen.

I wasn't thinking.

I know this is your bar.

And I'm not trying to invade your space.

I just needed to get out for a drink.

It's not a problem.

Is Mark on the way?

Nope.

Mark and I are done.

Wow.

'Cause we live in the moment ♪

It was like déjà vu.

Did that really happen?

Apparently so.

Felt so right.

It did, as much as I hate to admit it.

I didn't really have this

kind of connection with Mark.

I guess it's like the

stars aligned for us.

What's crazy is I was thinking about you

when you walked into the bar.

Ohh.

You were thinking about me?

Yeah.

That's sweet.

I thought you was out here

running in these streets

doing the absolute most.

Not quite.

Hmm.

Just left a date that

wasn't the most ideal.

Is that so?

Yeah.

So what happened with you and Mark?

[SIGHS]

Just realized I was checking off boxes

instead of following my heart.

Our connection was just

not what I needed it to be.

So in other words, he wasn't me.

[LAUGHS]

That's what you got from that?

Yep. Yep, yep.

But no, you right.

He definitely ain't you.

Well, you know, we've both grown.

So, uh, how about starting over?

Yeah.

We should just pick up

where we left off, babe.

[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]

- Hey, Ang.

- ANG: Lacy, we need to talk.

Okay, Ang, look, I know I

haven't booked in a while,

but please don't drop me, okay?

Just have a little bit more faith,

and I'm going to book something

like like, really, really soon.

ANG: Lacy, no, that's not it.

You just booked a series regular role

on a brand-new Netflix show.

It's called "Jaded Romance."

Hello?

Ang, don't play with me right now.

Did Brian tell you to do this?

Little bald-headed Brian?

ANG: Brian? Who the hell is Brian?

Ang, are you serious? I booked it?

ANG: Yes, honey.

Oh, my God. I couldn't

wait to make this call.

I know it's been a rough year for you.

[LAUGHS] Yes! Whoo!

- Okay. Ang.

- ANG: Yes, ma'am.

We back on TV.

- ANG: Yes, you are.

- Yes!

ANG: Check your e-mail

and have a good day.

- No, you have a good day.

- ANG: I'll see you later.

don't call me, though ♪

So, what do you think

about the new space?

I think this is it.

Yeah. I love the modern feel.

You know lofts are the new wave.

It's not all stuffy and

ancient like Alan Young.

Exactly, dude.

I say we do a large opening

and invite all of our connections

and potential clients.

- Definitely.

- Right?

It'll speak volumes to

where we're headed. Yeah.

I'm thinking you take the east wing

and I take the west wing.

- I'm cool with that.

- Okay.

Don't forget that we

have to do interviews

for the office manager position.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, maybe we should ask for pictures

along with the résumé

to make this hiring process

a little bit more interesting.

- Here we go.

- Dude, it would be a great way

to meet chicks and

flex at the same time.

We're not trying to get a

lawsuit before we get started.

You know we're in the #MeToo movement.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Hey, baby.

I hope you don't mind.

I still have the key.

- I guess.

- Hey, Cody.

It has been so long.

Carmen. It's good to see you.

It is great to be seen, and

it's great to see you too.

Well, Carmen's a great

interior decorator,

so I asked her to help us

out with the spot, you know?

Actually, look at this spot.

- Tell us what you think.

- Oh, okay.

- Oh, this is great.

- Right?

Yeah, this is good.

What time are we going to see it?

- Soon as the Realtor is by.

- [COUGHS]

Oh. Okay.

Can I have some water?

- Sure.

- Yeah?

Be right back, babe.

I'll miss you.

[GIGGLES]

When did this happen, dude?

Are you guys back together?

No, man. We're just

hanging out, starting over.

Oh, you sneaky devil.

So, like, when did it happen?

JASON: Just randomly ran

into each other last night.

- CODY: Okay.

- I love it.

I have so many ideas.

It's gonna be great.

I'm sure you're going

to make it look amazing.

Nice. But hey, I gotta go.

I have to get to a meeting.

- But

- Cool.

let me know when you

hear back from Realtor.

- All right?

- See you later.

- CODY: Yeah.

- CARMEN: Bye, Cody.

CODY: Bye.

Look at you coming back

around at the right time.

- Mm-hmm. It's what I do.

- Mm-hmm.

You want to go get some food?

Actually, I'm supposed to meet

Erick and Brian at

the bar for happy hour.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, it will be so great

to see the crew again.

I can't wait. I am gonna

go put my stuff down.

I'm going to change

that terrible blanket

you have on your bed,

and then I'll be ready.

So did they approve funding

for your after-school program?

You know, I may be able

to approve it myself.

I just interviewed for

the principal position.

Wow, that's that is perfect for you.

That would be perfect for you.

I mean, I wish you luck. I do.

Hold on a sec. Here come Lacy.

Let me get back to my pettiness.

Hey, Erick. Brian.

Well, hello, Lacy.

- How are you doing today?

- Don't start that.

Hey, Lacy, I heard you got hit

with the Caucasian persuasion.

- You know, Brian filled us in.

- You really get on my nerves.

Why you hiding Prince Harry?

Okay. [CLEARS THROAT]

I am dating a white

man, a Caucasian man.

Are you happy now?

There is nothing wrong with that.

You know, I caught a little

slack for Lisa at first,

but it'll all blow over.

So why don't you bring him around?

Why don't you bring Alicia around?

My fault. She left you.

- What?

- Yep.

- What are you talking about?

- Yeah, I saw her at spin class,

and she told me everything?

What did she say?

That she left you, so

you better keep it Q.

- Keep it Q.

- What's going on?

- Hey, y'all.

- Hey.

What is What's this?

We ran into each other,

catching up a little bit.

Yeah, but I thought you were en

Yeah, it just kind of happened.

- JASON: Yeah, it's great.

- Wow.

Lace, I been hitting

you. You dodging me?

Oh, my bad. It seems

like you've been busy.

I'm I'mma get y'all some drinks.

Cool, cool, cool.

Brian, Jason told me what happened.

You gotta do right by her.

You might not get a second chance

like someone else did.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

I got this all under control.

Where's your fiancé?

Yeah, um, that just didn't work out.

You know what, uh,

I'mma hit Lisa right now.

She's gonna be happy to see this.

Matter of fact, let me go on

and take a picture for her.

Hold on. Ready? 1, 2, 3.

- All right.

- CARMEN: I know, right?

It has been a minute.

Gotta catch up with my girl.

Okay, I got y'all drinks.

Got your bullshit

filtered nonsense water.

Well, excuse me for

having a clean liver, Lacy.

Well, on to other news,

I've decided to start my own firm.

- Mm!

- Okay.

Hey, man, that's great.

That's what I'm talking about.

- Yeah.

- It's about that time.

Uh, shots shots for

everybody on the house.

Yes, and yes.

Oh, but we can only stay for one.

We gotta go see the Realtor

for the new office space.

JASON: You know know what, you're right.

I should take it light today, guys.

- Just a little light.

- You should.

That's cute.

Yeah.

ERICK: You know what?

Lisa said that we can double

date as soon as possible.

CARMEN: Oh, I would love that.

Maybe you can bring the

dude that we haven't met yet.

That'd be nice. Oh, you know what, babe?

We can't stay for another one.

We really need to get going

if we gonna beat the traffic.

JASON: You know what, you're

right. All right, guys.

I think we need to get up out of here.

I'll talk to y'all later, all right?

So good seeing you.

Let's go, babe.

You know what, maybe we can get those

- round of shots right now.

- BRIAN: Quickly.

- LACY: Yes, yes, yes, shots.

- Quickly. Quickly.

JASON: A lot has changed

since we last met.

Explain.

Carmen's back in the picture.

She and her fiancé called it quits.

SHELLIE: Really? And how is that?

It started out cool,

but then it started becoming too much.

She's basically moved into my spot.

It's moving way too

fast. She don't listen.

She's inserting herself

back in with my friends.

And I'm not even sure she's the one.

Now, in our last session,

you said you felt like

things were moving too slow.

So is this about Carmen

or are you suddenly having

a little bit of

commitment anxiety again?

It's okay. This is your safe space.

You can talk to me.

I love Carmen.

I just I just want to make sure

that things are right, you know?

And I don't want to set

myself up for failure.

Remember, it's never

going to be perfect.

Okay?

There's some reason that

you keep being drawn to her,

and I don't know what that is.

But what I would love to see you do

is just be open to letting

things happen organically

and see how that feels.

- We live in the moment ♪

- SHELLIE: Okay?

This is how we got here.

Right here ♪

Just be in the moment ♪

[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Ahh.

Oh, I got to take this.

Oh.

Hey, Lola.

The Lola Lane?

Give me the phone. Tell

her I want to talk to her.

No, it's fine. It's just my friend.

Going in the other room.

[SIGHS]

Want to grab breakfast?

Can we talk?

What are we doing?

What do you mean?

I mean am I "just your friend"?

Or

I just think we need to

establish what we're doing.

JASON: I thought we were

just hanging out, you know,

see where it goes.

Jason, I don't have time to

just be hanging out with you.

Look, I know that,

but we haven't been

together for a while now.

You know, we should get

to know each other again.

I already know everything

I need to know about you.

I don't.

Oh. Okay.

Well, what do you feel

like you still need to know?

Carmen, you were engaged.

You're not the same

person you were a year ago.

What does that have to do

with what we're talking about right now?

Everything.

Come on, we've only been

hanging out for a week.

Oh, so we are just hanging out.

Hmm.

There you go, playing with my emotions.

You got me decorating your office.

He got me helping with your opening.

You're taking me around your

friends to hang out again.

I don't know why you

playing these games, Jason.

I don't know what

you're benefiting from.

Games? Your emotions, really?

Carmen, you brought your

fiancé to my boy's wedding.

I mean, how disrespectful is that?

- Disrespectful?

- Yeah.

Really? To move on with my

life and want to be happy?

With someone who actually

wants to be with me?

He was man enough to know that

he wanted to be my husband.

Well, obviously not

because, uh, you're here.

That's not fair, and that's not true,

because I am the one who ended things.

So, why did you?

Because I wasn't over you.

Look, I can't tell,

because how do I know

this is not one of your

knee-jerk decisions?

I mean, do you want to be with me?

Or do you want to be married?

Wow.

[LAUGHS]

- Oh, that's a serious question?

- Yeah, it is.

Oh, wow.

Jason, what is wrong with me

wanting to marry the man I love?

I don't see anything wrong with it.

And you act like we got all this time.

We don't, Jason.

Carmen, I never said I

don't want to be married.

I just need to do it on my time.

Question for you.

Why can't my time be considered?

Look, babe, we both need to be

at the same place at the same time.

That's all I'm saying.

All right, Jason.

How much time do you need?

More than a week.

Um, well, I

think this is just going to be

a repeat of everything.

Listen, this is why I'm saying

we need to get to know

each other again, Carmen.

I'm not the same man.

You had three years.

I can't give you any more time.

I can't give you any more.

And you are clearly still the same man.
