I can't do anything that's too...

- [DRE] Okay.

What the actual f*ck, Taylor?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I am, too.

- By the way, he dies in the end!
- Oh, come on, lady!

You want to start your new life?

Call this exactly what it was.

An awakening.

For both of us.

- f*ck. Oh, my God.

[ANGIE] It's someone I dated, briefly.

[SHANE] Hey, hey. Grab
your sh*t. Come on.

I love you, but I am not

my full self when I'm with you, Finn.

I am on my own path,

I am taking swings.

[CRYING] My mom d*ed.

[SHANE] I'd like another chance.

And I-I want to earn your trust back.

[TESS] I can't do this
back-and-forth, I just,

She's stabilizing.

- [MEDIC] I've got a pulse.
- [MEDIC ] She's gonna make it.

- Get her to CCU for observation.
- [CARRIE] See, she's not dead.

Next season, she has
an affair with a patient

- and she goes completely coocoo.
- Okay.

Have many times have you seen
this show all the way through?

I don't really want to
answer that question.

- Okay.
- All right?

Let's just say a lot.

- Uh-huh.
- [FINLEY] Hey.

- [CARRIE] Hey.
- [MISTY] Hey.

Hey, what did we say
about starting the day

with a balanced breakfast
and a little movement?

Well, we have said nothing,
but you apparently have said a lot.

Okay, well, the doctor said
you got to get your steps in.

- We're trying to heal here.
- [MISTY] Yeah, it's only been a week

since your heart att*ck, babe.

Oh, I find Grey's Anatomy
very healing, you know?

It's gotten me through
some really rough patches

- in my life.
- Thank you. That's nice.

- Well...
- [TV TURNS OFF]

- Ah, come on.
- That can be your reward

for doing your stress test today.

- Yeah?
- Yep, we got a quarter mile

- up an incline, baby.
- Ugh.

Yes, we have to do that.
We're doing that today.

- Yeah.
- [CARRIE] All right.

Then you can do anything you want.

- Yep.
- Including Misty.

[MISTY] Ooh. Sex as motivation.
I like that. Yes?

- [FINLEY] Hey!
- The two of you

are really bad, you know that?

- [MISTY] Mm-hmm.
- Oh, my God.

- Ugh. Ugh. This is not eggs.
- No, it's tofu.

Yeah? Well, tofu... f*ck yourself.

[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

[WOMAN OVER TV] I think
that's a great idea.

[WOMAN ] Yeah.

[WOMAN] It's nice to know that
I can always depend on you.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- I love you so much.
- I love you, too.

- f*ck you.
- [DOOR OPENS]

[BELLA] Hey. I was
hoping for chicken nuggets

but all they had was
something called a "fish cake,"

so proceed with caution.

I'm not hungry, but thanks.

[BELLA] G, this has to stop.

Get your sorry ass out of
bed, put on some clothes,

and get to your reading.

I'm not going. Hendrix
can fail me if he wants,

I really don't care. [SNIFFLES]

You're way too hot to be hung
up on some Hemingway wannabe.

I hope to one day
share that perspective.

I got to run to rehearsal but when
I get back, you better be gone.

I will definitely be here.

- Angie...
- I'm serious. I can't see him.

There's nothing in
this whole world that's

- gonna make me want to go.
- [KNOCKING]

[SCOFFS] Who's that? Did
you invite someone over?

[BELLA] No.

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- [TINA] Hey.

Wait, what are you guys doing here?

[TINA] Well, we weren't
gonna miss your reading.

[BETTE] We're gonna
film it, is that okay?

No, no, the reading...

It's not a thing. It's a non-thing.

- Right?
- Yep, a total non-thing.

[BETTE] Well, not according to
the department website.

Are you coming?

- Me? No.
- Yes.

[BELLA] Yes.

- Is something wrong?
- [ANGIE] Nope.

Is everything okay?

She's nervous.

- [ANGIE] I'm nervous.
- Oh...

About the reading.

- Big nerves about it, so...
- Oh, honey, look, come here.

- Sit down.
- Don't... Okay.

You have nothing to be
nervous about, at all.

- That's what I told her.
- It's gonna be great, okay?

Just breathe, like in
your stomach sort of.

Okay. Just... You don't
have to be nervous, honey.

Because you are an amazing writer.

Yes. And you have such
command of the stage.

You were so terrific in
your high school productions.

- I was a stage hand.
- And it was memorable.

- Okay.
- [TINA] Well, that's good.

[ANGIE] Thanks. I hope that experience
can get me through today.

[BETTE] It will.

And then afterwards we can all
go out to dinner and celebrate.

[WHISPERS] I made a
reservation at Providence.

- [BELLA] So bougie.
- Okay, okay.

I guess, um,

- we're all going to this thing.
- Yep.

- Yay.
- Great.

[TINA] Um, maybe you should, um...

Are you gonna... Yeah, maybe change?

Uh, maybe just a quick shower.

- [ANGIE] Mom, stop.
- Maybe just pits and bits.

Or you could wipe just...

- very fast with water.
- Guys.

Or-or whatever you think is best.

- Totally fine. Okay.
- [BETTE] That's-that's good.

[ANGIE] Now go, so I can get ready.

- Okay.
- [TINA] You can get ready.

- [BETTE] Um, I love you.
- [TINA] We're going.

[BETTE] Break a leg.

[TINA] Bye. Nice meeting you.

- [BETTE] You look great.
- [BELLA] They're low-key iconic.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Are you sneaking out?

Do you want some coffee?

No, um, I'm good, thanks.

It was really nice to
have you here last night.

I think Mack missed you.

[LAUGHS] He's a good boy.

Um, I was thinking maybe
we could go talk to someone.

If-if you're ready to.

I'm not... yet.

Thought it might be a good idea.

Well... you also thought
it would be a good idea

to f*ck another woman, um...

I'm gonna go to the, um,
expansion and-and meet the tile guy.

I'll see you later.

Look at these little jelly bean toes.

They're so squishy. Are you looking?

- Yes.
- Like... Look.

- Ooh! Oh, he's perfect.
- [SOPHIE LAUGHS]

I mean, his cat box is not
perfect. It's like... whew.

But I cracked a window.
Oh, look at this one. Look at this one.

Come on. Have you ever
seen anything cuter?

[SOPHIE] Aww.

Yeah, just the other pictures

you showed me of your kitten yesterday.

Anyway, um, how are those
Rachel questions coming along?

- Oh, so good.
- Okay.

Yeah, I can't believe
we're wrapping this season

with the Rachel Maddow.

I mean, we are living the
q*eer dream here, so...

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Ooh, do you have the green? Ah.

There's only two.

- Um, Alice.
- Yeah?

Did you interrupt a movie
at a theater recently?

Who's asking?

Uh, everyone in my DMs.

Apparently James Corden
retweeted the video

and now the hashtag...

- Oh, my God, that guy.
- "AliceSoEntitled" is...

- is trending.
- "Entitled"?

How is that even...

- All right. Yeah, I see it.
- Wait a minute.

Did you yell at an elderly woman, too?

- Oh, my God.
- What? What... ?

Okay, we had a rapport
until she turned on me.

Okay, and-and...

Oh, and then you told
everyone how the movie ended.

Oh, my God, it was an old movie.
Everybody knows how the movie ends.

- Now everyone's talking about...
- [PHONES BUZZING, CHIMING]

all this other bullshit you've done.

- [CHIMING CONTINUES]
- [MURMURING]

Alice, do you know a
guy named Daryl Brewer?

- [EXCITING MUSIC]
- [GAGS QUIETLY]

Oh, God.

♪ All eyes on me ♪

[FINLEY] Okay... All right, here we are.

A quarter-mile incline
with a view, baby.

I'm gonna run up ahead,
find the quarter-mile mark for us.

- You got this.
- [CARRIE] Okay. All right.

Just follow when you're
ready. Stretch out.

- Don't get hurt.
- All right.

[CARRIE] Are you sure?

That looks like longer
than a quarter mile.

Well, it's gonna get a lot
closer once we get going.

- Yeah.
- And then, uh...

we can get going.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you know, I would, uh, like that,

I just don't want to die
during it. You know?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

You know, um...

I wasn't expecting to feel all these...

- feelings with you, you know?
- Yeah, me neither.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

I mean... I'm not somebody who just,

you know, jumps right
into sex stuff or whatever.

Okay. I totally understand that.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I can't take another heartbreak.

We don't have to do anything
that you're not ready for, okay?

- [CARRIE SIGHS]
- Obviously.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

But also I'm very good at it.

- You're what?
- [LAUGHS]

I just... I want you to
have all of the information.

I am excellent at it,
I've had a lot of practice,

it would be a, you know,
shame to miss out, really.

I don't plan on missing
out, Misty. At all. Oh, look,

a family is here. Hello.
This is a family hike.

- No sex talk.
- [MISTY] All right, all right.

[CARRIE] It's a family hike, Misty.

- [MISTY LAUGHS]
- Come on.

- Oh, that's a... that's an incline.
- [MISTY] We got this.

[BARRY] Alice, I've
got the board up my ass

and sponsors ready to pull.

What happened between
you and Daryl Brewer?

I met him at a party. He
was with his boyfriend.

Then his teammate came
out of the closet, which...

was and is a very brave
thing to do, Barry.

- Okay.
- Then Daryl Brewer

goes on national TV, he gay-bashes him,

so I responded by calling
him a f*cking hypocrite

and by doing so, yes,
I guess I outed him.

Oh, Alice.

But she feels very
differently now, Barry.

No, I don't... No, I don't.
I feel exactly the same way.

[BARRY] People are angry.

They need to see genuine remorse.

If you can't give them that,

we think it's best if you
cancel the show tonight.

- Go home, lay low. Let this blow over.
- Barry? [LAUGHS]

I am not canceling on
Rachel Maddow, okay?

Not my Maddow. Not my Maddow.

We're gonna figure
this thing out, Barry.

We really want to deliver
a great finale for our fans.

[BARRY] That would be ideal, but...

Thank you so much for
your leadership on this.

- We'll get back to you.
- [BARRY] All right,

I'm giving you one
sh*t. Just don't make me

- look like an assh*le, Alice.
- [SOPHIE] All right. Thank you, Barry.

All right.

What is the way out of this?

I have no f*cking clue.

But we'll find it.

Well, at least you sounded like
you knew. So, that's a good thing.

Um, it's... It's Sophie.

- I'm-a just...
- Yeah.

- Um, please.
- Yeah, okay.

Hey, Soph.

Perfect timing.

[QUIET CHATTER]

[ANGIE] They probably can already tell.

They can, like, sniff this sh*t out.

[BELLA] I'm the only person who knows

- you're banging the professor, okay?
- Was banging him.

Was.

[HENDRIX] Hey, uh, good afternoon.
We're about to get started,

so if you could all please
take your seats. Thank you.

- Bella.
- Here, come join us.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

[BELLA SIGHS] Okay.

- You got this. Good luck.
- Do I?

[SIGHS]

- You're the best person I know.
- I don't know about that. That's...

Oh, you're smart and kind
and full of life and wisdom.

He's an idiot and you're a catch.

- It's so obvious.
- Says who?

[GENTLE MUSIC]

- You got this.
- [HENDRIX] Thank you all for coming.

My name is Samuel Hendrix,

I'm the Intro to Creative
Writing instructor.

And, yeah, okay. Here we are. Um...

I've been excited about
this day the whole semester.

I've gotten to watch these young
writers really come in to their own.

And now, today, you
all get a front-row seat

at the next generation of young poets

and writers of all kinds.

So, sit back, relax,
and let's have a good time.

Dani has written hundreds
of these public apologies.

[DANI] I'm happy to give you a template

and then we can tailor it together.

Or a better idea, I could just lean in.

Uh, I don't know, Alice.

"Lean in" sounds like
the opposite of "lay low."

Yeah.

[ALICE] Okay, look, if people
really think that I'm an out-of-touch...

entitled assh*le, then I
say we make a bit out of it.

Uh, I fear that would make
things worse. [CHUCKLES]

Kimmel would do it.

- Um...
- [ALICE] Sophie.

- You know he would.
- Yes, but...

Kimmel isn't a q*eer woman.

Which is exactly why I should do it.

I know, Alice, I know.

- I hear you, but...
- [ALICE] Listen.

I don't mean any
disrespect by saying this.

But you two do not know what
it was like to be gay back then.

You just don't. You weren't there.

Somebody with his power and his status

saying "down with the fags"
was like a normal thing.

- We don't use that word anymore.
- It's the anti-gay F-word.

Well, that's really
long to say, but... Okay.

I just... I don't regret what I said.

So, I don't think I should apologize.

Okay.

Alice...

I see you, I really do.

And I get that this
is what you want to do.

But I'm just trying to
look out for the show here.

We're still the only ones on television.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Okay.

I'll give you an apology.

- Make you happy?
- Yes.

I'm gonna go prep for Maddow.

If you guys come up with
something, come find me.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

- Thank you.
- I'm just following your lead.

- Where should we work?
- Come on.

[STUDENT] A slim opening in the trees

gives way to the dirt path,

which weaves down the hillside...

[QUIETLY] My car got broken
into a couple days ago.

- [STUDENT] Young trees...
- I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, somebody shattered the window.

It cost me like bucks to replace it.

What a terrible inconvenience.

I almost reported a theft.

Until I realized only
one thing was missing.

What was that?

It was that chapbook you made me.

A criminal with good taste.

Maybe.

Or...

maybe an immature person
whose feelings were hurt,

so they decided to vandalize
somebody's property for no reason.

I had a very valid
reason, Professor Hendrix.

And you know it.

[STUDENT] ... revealing
an aging playground.

Hey, Bella, do you want some candy?

I have a whole assortment
in my bag if you want some.

Yeah, sure.

She always stocks up at Duty Free, yeah.

- She's kind of perfect that way.
- Aww.

Well, thank you, that's so nice.

Hey, hey.

- Hi.
- Hey. Come here.

Aww. It's so good to see you.

- I miss you guys.
- Aww, I missed you.

- Hi, beautiful.
- Hello, hello.

Oh, Shane, this is Bella.
Bella, this is Shane.

How you doing, Bella? Nice to meet you.

Wow, hot aunt.

Okay. I feel that.

- Yeah.
- Where's Tess?

She couldn't make it.
But she sends her love.

Mmm.

[STUDENT] our ballroom.

A sandbox waiting to be transformed...

I know it's not easy
owning your own mistakes

and trying to make things right.

I know how that feels.

Mm.

- She's a good person.
- I know. I know.

She's just, uh...

- She's not herself yet.
- Yeah, well, that makes sense. Right?

- I mean, her mom just d*ed.
- Yeah.

You two are trying to figure things out.

I know, I know, I know. It's-it's...

It's more than that.

It just, it feels like we're
not moving forward together.

[GENTLE MUSIC]

Trust takes time.

- Right.
- Mm.

- Time and honesty.
- Relentless honesty.

They've got good couples
therapists in Toronto, don't they?

[LAUGHS] The best.

- Ah.
- Universal health care.

Oh, okay, that's the secret.

[APPLAUSE]

[HENDRIX] Beautiful.
Beautiful work, Ben.

Next up, we have
Angelica Porter-Kennard.

- Whoo!
- Go, G!

- [BETTE] She looks nervous.
- Wait, that's...

- [SHUSHING]
- Shh, she's starting.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[ANGIE] Hi. [CLEARS THROAT]

Nowhere.

- [BUSY CHATTER]
- [SIGHS]

- Oh, hi. Oh, nice.
- Hey, you approve?

Kitties everywhere. I love it.

- Hey.
- Hey. What do you think of this?

"Sometimes I lose sight of my
own power and responsibility

as a public figure and
it's in those moments

that I betray myself and my community."

Mmm. Okay. Uh, the sentiment's there,

I just think it needs to be in
Alice's voice just a little bit more.

- Copy.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- [PHONE RINGING]
- Oh, uh, one second.

This is Sophie.

[ALICE] Okay, okay.
That's a lot of torque.

- Whoo! How many CCs is this?
- Alice.

- What are CCs anyway?
- Hey, Alice.

- Can I get you for a minute?
- Do you know what a CC is?

[ALICE] Yeah, okay, wait.
Here's what I'm wondering though.

The transition time between

landing with Rachel,
right? And landing the jump.

Also, I think we should
walk it through. Is she here?

- Is she here yet?
- She's not coming.

- What?
- Maddow pulled out.

Sophie...

Did she say why?

- Alice...
- Oh, my...

- [SOPHIE] But hey, hey.
- [ALICE SIGHS]

We tape in minutes,
we-we-we can call favors.

That's enough time. We can
call people in. It's fine.

Let's just... cancel the finale.

- Excuse me?
- Everyone, canceled!

Alice...

What's the point of all this,
really? If you think about it.

Just like, oh, I get on
stage every week and I'm...

you know, trying to bring
a little joy to everyone.

Just trying to give a
voice to all the queers!

And they turn on me?

It's not f*cking worth it, okay?

Just run a, uh, clip
show for all I care.

That, that... I'm sorry, Sophie.

I'll... I'll pay for it if it's broken.

Hey. You okay?

[SOMBER MUSIC]

What are you gonna do?
You gonna cancel the episode?

I'm gonna make a f*cking show.

"Then I shouted to everyone, everywhere,

but my voice was heard
by no one, nowhere.

I saw you in the mirror until I grew up

and realized there's nothing
familiar about you anymore,

you were just empty space
where love once lived."

- Thank you.
- [APPLAUSE]

[WHOOPING]

Wait, that's the guy.

- [BETTE] Who?
- That's the guy, that's her ex.

- No, no, that's her professor.
- I'm telling you,

that's her ex. Bella. Is that her ex?
Or is that her professor?

[TENSE MUSIC]

- Um... Uh...
- [TINA] Hey!

Get away from my daughter!
I'm talking to you, Professor!

What are you... ? Mom. Sit down.

- You're making a scene.
- Don't speak!

What is wrong with you?!

[GROANS]

Okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, okay, okay, okay.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

Margaret Cho is gonna come back as host,

- she's gonna k*ll it.
- [DANI] Great.

So, that takes care of our
three-minute opening monologue,

but that still leaves with me
with four to five minutes short

- without... Maddow. God.
- What about Dre?

They've been working on new material.

They're new, but...

[SOPHIE] I've been wanting
to do this kind of thing

for so f*cking long.

Make the show about
bringing in new talent.

q*eer talent.

- [DANI] Okay, then let's do it.
- [OPTIMISTIC MUSIC]

[MISTY] You're almost there.

- Home stretch. Here we go, Care.
- Just past this line.

[CARRIE] I'm coming. I'm, uh...

[MISTY] You can stop if you need to.

- Okay. Oh, God, I'm...
- [FINLEY] Right here.

- Yeah, come on. Right here.
- Come on.

- Come on, you got this.
- [CARRIE] Oh, man.

You got this. A couple more steps.

- Come on.
- A couple more, you can do it.

- Yes!
- Yes! She's a beast, people!

- You did it. Are you all right?
- Please give me...

Just give me a minute, give me a minute.

- How's the heart?
- I don't know. I don't know.

Here, chug this.

- You need to drink this.
- You okay?

- You okay?
- Yeah. I think so.

What the f*ck is in that?

- What?
- Well, it's green powder.

- I thought it'd be good for you.
- Oh, dude.

- It's got vitamins and stuff.
- That's so not...

Come on, Finley, I like my
water clear, like everyone does.

You know, I like my eggs to be eggs.

The doctor said, you know...
I'm just, I'm trying to help.

I know, but you're driving me crazy.

Sorry, I just...

I thought I lost you and
it was really f*cking scary.

- I know.
- [FINLEY] I just...

I don't want to lose you, I love you.

Not in a gay way. I mean,
you know, we're both gay,

- but...
- Yeah.

I totally get that. I love you, too.

A lot.

Now, will you help me get
down this f*cking hill?

[FINLEY] Yep. I got you. Let's go.

- Let's go. Let's go.
- Come on.

- Carrie?
- What?

- I'm super gay for you.
- You are?

- Mm-hmm.
- That's good to know, Misty.

- Oh, boy, my legs are jiggling.
- [MISTY] Yeah?

[FINLEY] It's all right,
it's only a half mile down.

You just f*cking humiliated

[SIGHS] We trusted you

- I am taking care of myself.
- He belongs in jail.

Okay, why didn't you tell us?

- I...
- Why didn't you tell me?

Because I don't owe you
anything! It's my f*cking life!

- We obviously need to move back here.
- No, I do not want you here.

- At all.
- Which is clear.

I'm just gonna get a condo
right next to your dorm

and I'm not gonna let
you out of my sight.

- Okay. Okay.
- Okay, okay, okay. All right.

All right, no. For the record,
listen, we're blaming him,

- we're not blaming you.
- What? No! Why?

Oh, honey, he took advantage of you.

No, he did not. You're not getting it.

- What is he? Like ? ?
- [ANGIE] Yes.

Yeah, and it was nothing like that.
That's not the situation.

Honey, you just don't
see it that way right now.

But later you're gonna understand;
he totally took advantage of you.

This is exactly why I
don't tell you anything.

You're all acting like
f*cking hypocrites.

Like you've never fallen in love
with someone that you shouldn't?

- It's f*cking bullshit.
- [BETTE] Okay.

Okay. Okay. Um...

Oh, no, okay...

- It's fine.
- [BETTE] Okay, okay.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS] All right, why
don't we just, um...

I don't know, why won't
we just go to dinner...

f*ck dinner. I don't...

I don't want... I don't
want to be around you.

Angie, wait up!

- Angie, wait up. Wait up.
- No.

- They just treat me like a kid.
- [BELLA] No...

They just f*cking humiliated me

and they didn't even f*cking realize it.

- Okay, now that I saw. I saw that.
- Like, can you believe how wrong

they all are about the situation?

Like, they misjudged
it so poorly, you know?

I-I sort of think... they're right.

- What?
- Uh, I just mean, um...

I think it's weird.

On his side. Not on yours.

- How? I was the one that kissed him.
- I know, but it-it's...

I was the one that told
him that it was okay.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

He was the one that
wanted to get out of it.

I don't want to seem
like I'm a f*cking kid

who doesn't know what she wants.

- Because that is not the truth.
- I know.

I'm on your side! I am on your side!

I just... He has all the power.

- Okay, whatever.
- That's real.

May I please have my bag?

- May I please have my bag?
- Okay.

I haven't been honest with you.

I never thought we needed a second bar.

I just bought it because
I wanted to make you happy.

We're in the middle of a renovation.

A salon.

But on this side over
here, a couple sinks.

All right? And then...

Along this wall right here,

the stations, with separate

floor-to-ceiling mirrors and
some vintage barber chairs.

Huh? Like, ambient lighting.

Maybe a-a lounge area over
in this section, but...

I could be here.

Tess, this was an idea.
