04x07 - Take These Chances

Post by bunniefuu »

RAISA: So we had an idea.

It's a new feature for the
app called "CounterPro."

MARIANA: I have been secretly
feeding Bulk Beauty intel


on all of the brands
that they're going after.


But because I had to sign
a non-compete agreement,


I'm stuck here for two years.

What am I gonna do?

Non-compete agreements aren't
enforceable in California.


- Wait, what?
- Yes!

DYONTE: Tanya and I split up.

And I'd like to ask
you to be my primary.

Angelica and I used to date.

Do you know if she's seeing anyone?

MALIKA: I don't really know.

I mean, she hasn't mentioned anyone.

LUCIA: I've made a decision
about your proposal.

I'm pushing it forward.

Now the real work begins.

You can kiss your personal life goodbye!

LUCIA: You've read
Malika's proposal, right?

It's not a top priority.

JOAQUIN: My sister left
home eight years ago


and I've no idea where she's at.

I think she might've
lived here at some point.

How long have you been homeless?

LUCA: Since I was .

Can't get a regular job.

And that's the thing
about being invisible.


No one cares when they erase you.

Who are you and how
are you doing my dance?

Oh! Uh-uh, I am sorry.

- ISABELLA: Alice, you're back!
- GAEL: Early!


- ALICE: Margaret had to cancel her tour

'cause she booked a movie.

SUMI: I know you quit the tour.

Why did you lie?

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

I actually moved to LA to be a waiter.

Yeah, but it's a tough
industry to break into,

so I'm doing stand-up comedy
on the side to pay the bills.

I really think I'm about
to get my big break.

I just met at the Rancho
Cucamonga Olive Garden.

Word on the street, they're
talking two-figure deal.

Breadsticks for days.

So how's the women's
center proposal going?

It's going great.

I think you have done excellent work.

It's ready to take to the floor.

Oh, wow!

- That is so exciting!
- It is.

You just need two council
members to sponsor it.

So I suggest you approach
my closest allies,

Councilmen Gonzales and Brown.

Gonzales and Brown, got it.

Even though Lucia has
me working day and night,

it's been...

worth it.

I mean, I never could've moved this fast

in the nonprofit space.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Maybe I was wrong about you
taking this job in politics.

Oh, yeah, you were definitely wrong,

but that's okay.

So...

have you thought about us
being each other's primaries?

- I have.
- Yeah?

And?

Hey, thank you for your
advice about calling Callie.

You were right. It was
exactly what I needed.

All good. I'm glad to hear that.

It must be... hard for you

not hearing from your sister in so long.

Yeah, it is.

Can I ask why she left home?

Um, I don't really
love talking about that.

- Oh, sorry. Sure.
- No, no, it's fine.

DENNIS: Morning.



Hey, Joaquin, I just
read your article on Luca.

I didn't know he was unhoused.

How do you know Luca?

Uh, we met when he crashed in your loft.

Crashed? Who crashed? When?

Uh, it was just a friend of mine,

for like two nights
when I was out of town.

Okay, well, notice of
any overnight guests

must be submitted to the manager,

who is me.

Without special permission,

there's a two-consecutive nights rule.

(BLOWS RASPBERRIES) As if rules
are ever enforced around here.

(KELLY CHUCKLES)

(LOUDLY): Listen up!

That's gonna change around here.

No more Ms. Nice... Gal.

I'm bringing back the chore
chart and community service.

And late fees on late rent!

And no more showering for
more than ... minutes.

You've got to be kidding me.

And we have ants!

Ugh! What's wrong with you people?

Okay. Uh, do you have any
way to get a hold of Luca?

I think I might have a job
opportunity for him if he's interested.

Oh, um, you know, I tried
calling him the other day,

but his phone was disconnected, so.

Well, do you know
where I could find him?

The last place I saw him was
an encampment by Skid Row.

- Okay. Thanks.
- Yeah.

Hold on. You're not
going down there alone.

- No, I'll be fine.
- No, I'm gonna go down there with you.

Just give me a minute to change.

Okay.

And people keep leaving
food and dirty dishes around,

which probably creates crumbs.

Tasty little crumbs!

No more eating in your lofts!

- Damn it!
- What's up with her?

What?

I know you quit the tour.

What's going on, Alice?

Why did you lie?

Because I don't want
to do stand-up anymore.

And I didn't want a bunch of questions.

What? But you love stand-up!

Well, you know, after being on tour

and learning what it's really
like, I changed my mind.

- What...
- It's not what I want to do anymore!

I'll tell you later.

If you see one ant, there
are thousands of ants

in a colony somewhere close by

with a queen.

Yo! Dennis, hey! You got a minute?

- Sure.
- Uh...

What do you know about this girl?

Jenna? She used to live here.

She went by, like, another name, right?

Diana Graham?

Uh, yeah. I think she told me

that she had to use someone
else's name on her lease

'cause she had a bad
credit score or something.

- You know her?
- Uh, yeah.

We're just both from Oklahoma.

I'm trying to track her down.

I haven't seen her in
a while, but then again,

I don't hang out in clubs anymore.

Oh, is that where you... met her?

Yeah. She used to come
to some of my shows.

She actually brought me back here.

It's how I found out about The Coterie,

as a matter of fact.

Hmm. She brought you back here?

- Yeah.
- Nice.

You have her number or anything?

Uh, no. Never got her number.

But I do remember that I bumped
into her a few months later

at a bar called Mickey's.

She was, uh, dating the
manager, I think, named Chris.

Don't remember his last name.
Not sure if he's still there.

- You should check it out.
- Okay, cool. Yeah, thanks, man.

- Good luck with that.
- Yeah.

So, we have a surprise for you.

We finished the deck for CounterPro!

AVA: And we think it's
ready to pitch to Jackie.

So... I have good news.

Callie told me that
non-compete contracts

aren't actionable in
the state of California,

which means I can leave Revitalize

and officially come back to Bulk Beauty.

- Yes!
- This is such great news!

- Group hug!
- Group hug!

Oh, yay! Now we're back!

It's amazing. It's great news!

However, um... there
is one more problem.

Ava and Raisa have a
big idea for the app,

and I think it might totally crush us.

What is it?

I can't say. That would be stealing!

And... And we don't steal.
We're better than Jackie.

But... I do have an idea.

If my non-compete isn't binding,
neither is Ava and Raisa's.

So what if we invite
them to join Bulk Beauty

and they bring their big idea to us

before they pitch it to Jackie?

Would they leave
Revitalize to come here?

I feel very confident.

And if I explain everything,

they won't want any part of
an app idea that was stolen.

So, you're a spy?

Is this why Bulk Beauty
has been signing our brands?

Because you've been sabotaging us?

No, no. I... I... I
mean, maybe a little.

But only because Jackie stole our idea

after we pitched it to her.

And she manipulated you two

into creating her own
version of Bulk Beauty.

That's not true. We came to Jackie.

Yeah, we didn't rip off anyone's idea.

No, you didn't.

But you did say

that your original pitch
was about cleaning products,

and that she steered you into beauty.

Don't you find it odd

that the code was already written?

That was our code.

She cloned it and then changed
it just enough so we couldn't sue.

So why are you telling us this now? Hmm?

Because I am asking you...

to leave Revitalize
and come to Bulk Beauty,

where we actually value women in tech,

and don't pit them against each other.

And you don't wanna be a part
of an idea that's stolen, right?

I don't know, Mariana.
You still lied to us.

Agreed.

This is a lot to digest.

- We need to think about this.
- We need to think about this.

Davia, I'm here to help.

Thank you. But if we don't
find him by the afternoon,

the job will be filled.

What is this job?

DESI: Five, six, seven, eight.

Feel it!

And eight.

Three, four, five,
shoulder, shoulder, shoulder.

One, two, three, four, five,

leg, seven, eight, and one.

Nice!

Ah!

Great work. Great work today!

You are all really coming
together as an ensemble.

WOMAN: Yeah.

Oh, unfortunately,
Jessie had to fall out.

So I'm holding auditions
for a new dancer tomorrow,

if anyone knows anyone who's interested.



Does it have to be a woman?

I mean, could it be a man?

Burlesque?

That's amazing. When
did you get into that?

Well, after I got fired for that video,

I just wanted to do something

that made me proud
of my body and myself.

You know, build my confidence back.

We're gonna get invited to this show?

Yeah, we'll see if I'm that confident.

I don't know. Luca's a dancer.

I just didn't want him
to miss the opportunity

if it was something
he'd be interested in.

What?

You're a good... You're a good person.

Oh, stop it.

(PHONE CHIMES)

- Well, apparently, I'm not that good of a person.

- Yeah, me either.
- (SCOFFS)

We should keep looking.

Yeah, that's great.

Councilman Gonzales.
Councilman Gonzales.

Oh, hi, I was wondering
if you had a chance

to read my women's center proposal?

So I just figured that...

Councilman Brown isn't able
to sponsor your project.

GONZALES: Uh, I'm sorry. I can't
support another motion at this time.

I'm sorry.



You okay?

Lucia told me to ask
Councilmen Gonzales and Brown

to co-sponsor my proposal,
and they both said no.

But I don't get it.

They're supposed to be Lucia's allies.

Yeah.

Look, I probably
shouldn't tell you this,

but I have a friend who's
an aide in Gonzales' office,

and she told me that
Lucia asked him not to.

Wait. What?

Why would she do that?

For some reason she's not telling you,

she obviously wants to k*ll it.

But... that's...

so not okay!

But that's so politics.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Chris.

Does he still work here?

Yeah, unfortunately.

I'm Chris. What can I do for you?

Uh, just looking for an old
friend of mine, Jenna Perez.

What'd you say your name was?

I didn't. Jake Davis.

Like I said, just an
old friend of Jenna's.

Just moved back to LA,

so I'm just trying
to reconnect with her.

Who told you to come to me?

Uh, a friend of hers.

Said that you guys were,
like, an item or something.

I wouldn't say that.

I mean, she used to hang
out at the bar. But...

I barely knew her.

Any chance you know where she is?

I haven't seen her in a long while.

Gotcha. You don't have, like,
a number or an email or...

I don't. Sorry.

Wish I did, but like I said,

it's been a while.

Hmm. Help me out...

I've gotta get these
bottles stocked, so...

Sure.

Thanks anyway, man.



Hey, man, you worked here long?

- Couple years.
- Yeah? How well you know, uh, Chris?

Well enough to know he's an assh*le.

(LAUGHS) Here I was
thinking I was special.

Let me ask you something.

You know, uh... You know this girl?

Yeah, that's Chris' ex, Jenna.

Oh, ex. So they were serious?

They were living together.

Pretty hot and heavy for a while.

I don't know what
happened, he didn't say.

Just that they broke up.

- Gotcha. Thanks, man.
- Yeah.

What if he doesn't want to do it?

Well, he still needs to know about it.

Even if he doesn't want to dance,

we should still help
him out, he's a nice guy.

Hey... Davia!

Luca! Hey!

It's me, Davia. Do you remember me?

Oh, uh, yeah. No, of course, I do.

Dennis, this is Luca.

- Hey.
- What happened to you?

Oh, um, no, it's just, um,
this guy on the streets,

like, been harassing me.

You know, just, like,
trying to shake me down.

That is terrible. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it is what it is.

I'm actually... I'm
on my way out of town.

No! You can't leave.

I mean, I have an
opportunity for you to dance.

You have to stay.

(RAP MUSIC PLAYING)





Can someone please explain to me

why our competitor is landing
more brands than we are?

We just won the
Archambeau Cosmetics pitch.

Thanks to Mariana.

I have my boss coming down on me

because I gave a chance to you two.

I gave you the code.
I gave you the idea.

I handed it all over to you.
And what have you done for me?

Do you have any ideas of your
own you'd like to show me?



Good news!

Since Gonzales and Brown declined

to sponsor the women's center proposal,

I got two other council
members on board.

What?

Hernandez and Russo.

I... I didn't ask you

to approach Hernandez and Russo.

Those council members are going
to expect favors from us in return.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

I know how invested you are

in helping women
impacted by incarceration,

and I didn't think it would be a problem

since the goal was to get
the proposal to the floor.

- Right?
- You don't decide what the goals are here.

And neither do I. She does.

I mean, you don't wanna k*ll it, do you?

Of course not.

Just next time, ask
before you take action.

Absolutely, um, I will.

That was not a sincere apology.

That was acting.

And I would know because...

I know, Will. "Fresh Prince
of Bel-Air," two episodes.

You saw them!

(PHONE VIBRATES)

Are you serious?

(LOUDLY): Who sent you?

Gah!

_

You're not gonna see this coming.

I'm gonna find you, you tiny bitch!

Yes, I will.

What're you doing?

I'm gonna flush out the
queen ant with lemon water.

And when she sends a
signal to the colony

that it's time to move,

I'm gonna catch her, k*ll
her, and take her army down!

Okay. Um, Sumi told me that you...

left the tour

and that you don't
wanna do comedy anymore.

What's up with that?

Are you good?

I'm fine. I'm fine! I'm fine, I'm fine.

Everything's fine. Yeah.


God, why would Sumi tell you that?

Because I asked. And
I'm worried about you.

Did you have a bad night on stage?

No.

People's dreams change.

And I don't wanna be
interrogated about it.

Okay.

But, you know, sometimes
we can hit a speed bump,

or a wall even,

but it doesn't mean we have to quit.

Remember when we saved that bird?

You know, sometimes the closed
windows of life can knock us down,

but we can always get back up again

and give things another chance,

whether that's a new thing

or the old thing.

In the meantime, I bought ant traps.

Maybe they'll help?

At least until you flush out the queen.

So...

What happened?

Are they in?

Oh, God, it's bad news, isn't it?

Do you have any ideas of
your own you want to show me?

RAISA: I have a question.

Who did write the code?

What does that have to do with anything?

Your concern is what you're
bringing to the table.

I need some fresh, new ideas.

RAISA: We'll get right on it.

Yeah, we'll brainstorm some
fresh, original ideas for you.

See that you do.

Impress me.

All of you.

Raisa and Ava...

- are coming to Bulk Beauty.
- (GASPS)

- Yes!
- No way!

We just have to go back to
clean out the rest of our stuff,

and then tomorrow will be our last day.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

This is fantastic!

Jenna?

What are you doing here?

Can I come in and talk

- No!
- Why? Is Jenna in there?

- No. No one's here.

- Okay. Jenna! Jenna!
- CHRIS: Hey!

- She's not here!
- Jenna, please!

- CHRIS: She's not here.

Who the hell you think you

I'm her brother! Okay, I'm her brother.

And I know you lived
together. So why'd you lie?

I didn't know who the hell you were.

Look, Jenna and I
dated for a few months,

and she crashed here for
a while, but it was a mess.

All we did was fight, so we broke up.

She asked me to drive her
to Palm Springs one night

so she can stay with a friend.

But on the way, we got into it again.

She told me to stop the
car or she'd jump out!

So I stopped. She got
out, and that was it.

- I haven't seen her since!
- You left her in the middle of nowhere?

I had no choice!

Look, I don't care if
you're her brother or not.

She's crazy. I was tired of it.

- You piece of sh*t!
- Call the cops.

- You piece of sh*t!
- Call the cops!

You better pray nothing happened to her.

(DOOR CLOSES)

DAVIA: No one really comes down here.

It's mostly used for
stage sets and props.

DENNIS: There's a bathroom
right around the corner.

LUCA: Cool. Thank you.

And, um, you're sure you guys

aren't gonna get in
any trouble for this?

DAVIA: It's just temporary until
we figure something else out.

You're not safe on the
street. You will be here.

DENNIS: If you need food or
anything else, we got you.

Why are you guys doing this?

Um, I guess

we know what it feels like to be alone.

And that's one of the
reasons we all live here,

is to be there for each other.

Create a community.

Um, just...

Thank you.

Seriously.

No one's ever done
anything this kind for me.

Of course.

We gotta get you a new
cell phone tomorrow, though.

So... sleep well.

I will.

- Good night.
- Good night.

All right, you guys, thank
you so much for your time.

That is it. Thank you.

And, uh, I will see you guys later.

You okay?

I'm sorry. Um...

Yeah, just, um, Jackie
came down really hard on me.

I think I'm gonna be fired.

Jackie came down on all of us.

Oh.

Maybe I just suck.

What? No. Don't... Don't say that.

I think you're a really
good project manager.

Jackie thinks that you
have to motivate by fear.

That's not how you get
the best out of someone.

Very true.

I don't even know why I'm crying.

I'm not, like, a leaky person.

I just, um...

I guess I'm scared.

If I lose this job,

who's gonna hire me?

Look...

I'm going back to Bulk Beauty,

and I'm taking Ava and Raisa with me.

Why don't you come with us?

Really? You'd want me?

Yeah, we're all
super-talented, competent women.

We deserve to be our own bosses,

not work under a toxic
person like Jackie.

What do you say?

Okay.

Yeah. Let's do it.

I'm in.

Perfect!

Okay, well, um, I will
text you all the details.

And in the meantime,
pack all your stuff.

Will do.

Mariana?

Thank you,

for believing in me.

Of course.

_

Basically, I asked for
forgiveness instead of permission.

Was she mad?

Yeah, I think she was pretty pissed off.

And here I am talking
about her instead of you.

So her diabolical plan is working!

Oh, no. Mm-hmm.

- Oh, thank you.
- Yes.

I'm sorry. Let's talk about us.

- Us?
- Mm-hmm.

Let's do something fun like take a trip.

Hike the Grand Canyon

or go to Kern River and
ride the rapids, hmm?

Look at you, suddenly Dora the Explorer!

Well, I know how much
you like adventure,

and I like you.

And I wanna spend more time with you.

Me too.

Well, what about Dyonte?

I mean, now that he's
not with Tanya anymore,

I'm sure he's gonna wanna
spend time with you too.

Actually, um...

Dyonte asked me to be his primary.

What did you say?

I think it's a little too soon
after your breakup with Tanya.

Don't you?

Obviously not.

Is that the only reason?

No.

I'm starting to have strong
feelings for Angelica.

And I don't think I'm ready to commit

to taking that next
step with you right now.

I understand.

Not gonna lie, I am a
little jealous though.

Mr. Cool Poly Guy getting jealous?

- You getting jealous?
- I am human.

No, no! Okay, I just did my hair!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

So did I have anything
to do with your decision?

You did.

I'm glad to hear that.



So are we getting in
this pool or... not?

Let's do it.

- Let's go.
- All right.

Hey.

Can you talk?

Sure.

My sister left because we grew
up in a really religious home.

And our dad was...

He was strict... and mean,

and even violent sometimes.

And when she said, you
know, she was leaving,

he told her that she
wasn't his daughter anymore

and that she was no
longer part of the family

and wasn't allowed in his house.

So, you know, a few years later,
like, I got out of there too.

I recently found out that
she had been here in LA,

so I... I've been here looking for her.

My... My mom thinks that she's dead.

And you know, I thought,
like, my mom's just...

She's being crazy, right?

But, man, I'm...

I'm... I'm really worried

that something horrible happened to her,

and that she's right.

I'm so sorry.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

No. No, no, no, no.

I... I found the source of the ants.

It was me! It was my fault!
