Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - I Will Help You - full transcript

- Dude.
- Previously on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend...

I get it. You love me.

But the way you show your love

is so messed up.

We're not right for each other.

And we never will be.

I don't know why I can't have
that closeness with anyone else.

Well, you could try
being nicer to people.

NATHANIEL: You think I
don't know that I'm a jerk?

I don't want to be like that.

My mother told me who to be.



NAOMI: Nothing is going
to ruin your future.

I sacrificed my dreams for you.

You want that promotion, don't you?

REBECCA: And I went along with it all

because I told myself
they weren't my choices.

This guy can meet you
at a bar in 20 minutes.

- Go for it.
- What are those?

Oh, carpal tunnel.

REBECCA: In another context,

you'd be great, but you're
not a healthy choice.

Are you finally moving out
of Hector's mom's house?

No, she's awesome.

You got to move out
of her house. Enough.

Se acabó. Basta.



I don't want to be a lawyer anymore.

I'm thinking of calling it...

Rebetzel's.

I would love to try

and help you and any of
the other women in here.

So, what do you guys think?

(barking)

(lock buzzes in distance)

So, I complete the work
skills program by Friday,

then I get my certificate,

and then I can go ahead and
file for sentence relief.

- Exactly.
- Okay, perfect.

And Nicky, I talked to
your public defender,

and you will be hearing
about your parole

in the next couple days or so.

Good. Talked to my work.
They said they'd take me back.

Just kind of want to get
back to my life, really.

Don't worry, you're getting out
of here. It's just a formality.

Um, oh, I won't be here next week,

but my friend Paula's subbing in for me.

And she's not a lawyer yet
but she will be,

and she loves the law.

Hmm, should be a nice
change of pace, then.

Yeah, sounds like a step up.

- Yep.
- So, where're you going?

Oh, it's-it's boring.
My mom's being honored

by this Jewish charity back east,

and I haven't seen her since...

oh, I tried to kill
myself, got a diagnosis,

pushed a guy off the
roof and went to jail,

so she doesn't know the truth,

and it's time to tell her all that.

Wait, so you're gonna
tell her everything?

Yeah. I figure if I'm honest with her,

maybe we'll finally have
a better relationship.

Hmm.

Rebecca, I have a question.

So, last week you said you
were going on the dating apps.

Did you meet someone, and did they think

the whole jail thing was hot or weird?

I'm asking for a friend.

- The friend is me.
- Okay.

You don't tell people on dating apps

that you've been in jail. Come on.

Well, old Rebecca might
not have mentioned it,

but, like I said, new Rebecca is honest.

Totally honest.

"Recovering from
recent suicide attempt.

Have been known to stalk my exes."

- Wow, that is an honest profile.
- Yep.

Look, lying is bad for
me. It's a slippery slope.

I tell one little lie, next
thing you know, jail.

Okay. I think it's okay
to lie sometimes.

You know, on my profile I don't mention

that I get gassy from gluten

or that my back handspring needs work.

Hey, you know, maybe I
can find you some people

You've swiped for me,
I'll swipe for you.

I've been out there a while,
so I'm kind of an expert.

- (scoffs) Sure, knock yourself out.
- Right.

Well, here are some obvious nos.

Weird facial hair, iguana on shoulder,

- thumb ring.
- So many thumb rings.

Oh, here's a good one.

Kind face, good smile. Swiping yes.

(phone dings)

Oh, a match. Check it out.

Really?

Oh, my God, that's Jason.

I've been on a date with
this guy. He had, um...

right, these greasy, smelly balls.

Uh, what?

No, uh, stress balls for carpal tunnel,

but he was fondling them all night.

You know, this guy,

he never got a fair shake from me.

Mostly 'cause I was obsessed with you

and stalking you and
trying to ruin your life.

I'm just being honest.

- Mm-hmm.
- Huh.

I still have this guy's number.
Maybe I'll text him back.

Well, cool. If he
makes plans in advance,

that means he likes you. Oh, yeah.

Usually it's same-night hookups,

and if someone is not into
you, they cancel last minute.

Trust me, I know these
things. (chuckles)

(sighs) It's brutal out there.

Thanks again so much

for letting me stay here while
you're out of town, Becks.

I'm not sure where to go

now that I've moved out
of Hector's mom's place.

Oh, yeah. Congrats on that, by the way.

I was too embarrassed to go home,

so I'm sleeping at the YMCA.

Don't listen to the song.
It's not fun to stay there.

Oh, I'm sorry about that. (sighs)

Well, happy to have you here,

and I'm sure you'll
find your own place soon.

Yeah. You know,

it just occurred to me. Have
you ever lived on your own?

Oh, yeah. In New York. I mean,

I shared the apartment
with my landlord's mom,

but we had our own rooms.

Wait, didn't you and Hector's
mom have your own rooms?

Cool. Okay, so, some things

you need to know about the house.

Uh, Wi-Fi password is "525,600minutes."

Trash goes out on Thursday.

- I left some frozen Rebetzels for
you in the freezer. - All right!

Oh, and feed Estrella once a day.

The fish flakes are right there.

(clicks tongue) Right by the tank.

That's it. Okay. You know what,

no matter what happens
with my mother on this trip,

I am so excited to
see some fall foliage.

I really miss East Coast seasons.

We have seasons in L.A.

T-shirt, sweatshirt,
puffer and tank top.

- (chuckles) Okay. All right.
- (chuckles)

Have a good time. Don't wreck the place.

(scoffs) Wreck the place? Me? No.

I'm the clean one.
Hector's mom was dirty.

Okay. Bye.

- Bye.
- (door closes)

So, what should we do first, Estrella?

Can I call you Estrella?

Cool. I'm Josh.

Whee!

Want a pretzel? Get you a pretzel.

BOTH: One, two, three,
four, I declare a thumb war.

Ready? No, ready, begin.

Hello there, Tim and Jim.

Want a doughnut? (clears throat)

I told the man to put the
most fattening ones in there.

They're free, and they're for you.

Ooh, don't do it. It's a trick.

Oh, is this like the time
I tried to make the elevator

and you pressed the
close button, yelling,

"Take the stairs, lose a few"?

Let me be honest.

I've been going through a lot lately.

Hideous breakup.

I spilled some ashes on
myself and learned how to cry,

so now I'm just... I'm trying

to be a nicer...

kinder, gentler guy.

Okay?

So... cruller?

Take a bite! Come on. (chuckles)

- Mmm.
- Mmm.

Enjoy.

I'm telling you, he's
up to something. (sighs)

PAULA: Maybe we should just
take Nathaniel at his word.

Maybe he legitimately wants to be nice.

- Ugh.
- Oh.

Yep, something weird
is definitely going on.

(whispering): Damn it.

Okay, I need to sneak out,
and I do not want to deal

with whatever psycho thing is going on

with him right now.

Will you and Tim cover for me?

(breathes deeply)

Okay.

So, my eldest, he wants to play the tuba

in orchestra, and I'm like,

"Get an instrument that's
gonna get you laid."

I-I played the snare,
and I lost my virginity

to my high school band
teacher. (chuckles)

No, no, no, no, no, not like
that. I was 26 at the time.

So, uh... Is that, uh,

too late? Too-too early?

- (elevator bell dings)
- (chuckles) It was right on time

for me.

(squeals)

- (shrieks) Hi!
- Guys, I'm here.

Hi! You're here.

- (chuckles) Hi.
- Hey.

- Hey, welcome, hey.
- Oh, my God.

Oh, yeah, come in,
come in, come in. Look.

Look at this place.

It's so tiny.

How much are you paying for this again?

Eight grand a month.

You know, in New York, that's a steal.

And we have a guest bed.

No. Oh, my God. (laughs) Totally.

It's the coolest thing. Wow.

So cozy. I love it.

Oh, yay! (chuckles)

Guys, thank you so, so much

- for letting me stay with you, really.
- Yeah.

- Last time I stayed with my
mom, she drugged me. - Whoa.

- Oh, it's a long story. I'll tell you
sometime. - (phone chimes)

Oh, hey, sexy stranger.

Sorry, it's this guy Jason.
Uh, we matched online,

and I guess we're gonna go
on a date when I get back.

- Oh, great!
- BETH: Yeah.

Huge relief. You got to get laid.

Valencia says that all the time.

Oh, so you guys, uh,
talk about my sex life?

That is so sweet. I
love you both so much.

(groans) All right, I guess
I should go see Naomi and...

tell her the truth, the whole truth

and nothing but the... Yeah.

Hey, V, are you busy today?

Why? You need some moral support?

(knock on door)

I've been waiting for hours.

I'm only, like, ten minutes late.

Late is late.

Cool. Great to see you, too,
Mom, after, like, a year.

I brought my friend Valencia.
You might remember her.

You've got a nice figure.

What do you eat, and when do you eat it?

Please write this down for me,

'cause I'm always looking for tips.

Now, this event,

let's review the details.

Hey, before we do that, um,

there are some things I
think we should talk about.

Did I mention that Elayne
Boosler is introducing me?

Oh, uh, wow.

Who?

Elayne Boosler.

It's... Um...

One of the great Jewish

female comediennes of all time.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

You got your Totie Fields, your
Joan Rivers, your Fran Drescher,

and then you got your Elayne Boosler...

who just so happens to be
a close and personal friend of mine.

We're friends from Jewish summer camp.

We went to Camp Kavetcha.

You've heard of Camp
Kavetcha, of course.

- Oh, yeah, yep. Yep, yep, yep.
- Why would she have heard...

Rebecca, this event is massive.

Everyone who is anyone

in the Northern Westchester
Modern Reform Jewish community

(choked up): is coming.

Including Elayne Boosler.

Right. And that's very cool. So...

hey, Mom, before we start
talking about the event,

um, there are

some... new things I
would love to tell you

about my life, and I
would just love to...

get 'em out there.

Okay. (clears throat)

Is that why your friend
is here? Moral support?

And you want to talk about what?

Your suicide attempt?
Your mental health crisis?

How you pushed

some Harvard kid off
the roof and then tried

to plead guilty for some
fakakta reason and went to jail?!

What? You think I don't have a
Google alert for "Rebecca Bunch"?

You think that I am not
reading the comments section

of the Daily Covina?

So you know about all this, then?

None of this was a surprise.

I knew you weren't in great shape

when we saw each other
last, and I was worried.

But when I read you made
an attempt using my pills,

that is exactly what
happened in college.

You just wanted attention.

And as for the Rooftop Killer,

doing something drastic
for the man you love

is vintage Beckelah.

Oh, did she ever tell
you that in college

she lit her married
boyfriend's house on fire?

Not to mention the meshuggener

Josh Chan shenanigans.

Or should I say "Chananigans."

(chuckling): That's pretty good.

- (laughing)
- (forced chuckle)

Anyway... that's all in the past.

It doesn't matter. What matters is,

despite all the schmegegge chazzerai,

you still made partner.

You got your name,
finally, on that door.

So somehow all that meshigas

made your career even better. Right?

Rebecca...

nothing's really changed.

You haven't really changed.

You're still the same
big-shot lawyer, right?

Right?

Right.

Okay, Estrella.

First, I'm hungry.

Spaghetti! Love spaghetti.

Hmm.

Yeah. There it is.

Find the stuff.

(humming a tune)

Break this up here.

Yeah!

Now, put that there.

All right, in it goes.

Ah.

All right.

(beeping)

Ah. All right. And we're off!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Ye... Oh, man.

Oh, come on.

(exhales)

(sighs): Oh!

Ugh. It's... wet.

(grunts)

(straining)

(groans)

(grunts, groans)

Stay. Yeah.

Ow! Ow. What are you... ?

(sighs)

(panting)

(machine whirring)

(lock buzzes in distance)

Okay, let's get up to speed.

I know a bit about your cases.

Rebecca talks about you a lot.

She kind of talks about you, too.

- Aw.
- Yeah.

I am so mad at Tanya.

Orange-vested bitch.

Let me know if you want me
to do anything about that

when I get out.

I had an ex-fiancé who cheated on me,

and, well...

(quietly): I put cream cheese
all over his car door handle.

Whoa.

Strong.

No, thank you.

Yeah. Okay,

this is for Nicky.

I thought we could have
a party to celebrate her...

parole!

Where is she?

Well, they just took her
to talk to the warden, so...

Seriously, just say the word,

and Tanya's mailbox is filled with...

That's right... cream cheese.

- (lock buzzes)
- Okay.

HANIFA: Nicky.

Whoa, what happened to you?

- Who's this?
- Rebecca's friend. Remember?

The one who's not a lawyer?

I need a lawyer right now. (scoffs)

When they were processing my parole,

they found a warrant for
unpaid parking tickets,

because I failed to appear in court.

Of course I failed to appear
in court; I was in here.

And now they gave me
$5,000 worth of fines that I can't pay.

What am I gonna do?

PAULA: No, no, no, this is ridiculous.

I have been on hold with
the public defender's office

for 30 minutes already!

No, d... (seething breath)

(low growl)

How was everyone's weekend?

I went to a pumpkin patch with my mom.

She was a little surprised by the
invite, but I have a cute photo.

Ask to see the photo.

- Uh, can we...
- Uh...

- can we see the photo?
- May I please see

- your photograph?
- That'd be great.

What the hell's going on?

(quietly): We don't know
what's wrong with him.

Just play it cool.

Aw, no. Screw this.

Uh, uh...

Here, check it out.

Mm. So whimsical, right?

(shudders): Yeah. That's very whimsical.

Paula! Pumpkin photo!

Paula, get in here right now, or else!

Don't fire her! Please!

I'm not firing anyone.

What is wrong with you guys?

You said "or else"!

Yeah, or else she's gonna
miss out on all the fun.

Come on.

Why doesn't anyone
believe that I'm nice now?

I am. Okay? I'm nice.

I just sent you all massage gift cards.

Check your phones.

Look at 'em. Look at your phones!

What is Paula doing, anyway?

(groaning)

(exhales)

Morning.

Hi-eee.

(sighs)

Oh...

I have a date with
Jason when I get back.

Mmm. I have an actual date. Look at me.

I am.

Oh. Okay.

(groans) All right.

I got to go... Mm.

... see Naomi. Oh.

Mm. I'm so glad that I'm staying
here and not with her, you know?

It's just... it's just
so much, uh, easier

and more convenient. Sorry.

You telling her the truth today?

Yes. Because honesty is important to me.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, also, could I borrow

a dress? She will hate
everything I brought.

♪ ♪

NAOMI: Wow!

You look great!

You borrowed that dress

- from that skinny friend of yours?
- No.

Wait. I'm honest now. Yes.

Whoa, boy.

Well, if it isn't the Bunch girls.

Hello, Marilyn. (sighs)

- Audra.
- Rebecca, my dear, how are you?

You haven't seen Audra
in a while, have you?

Well, here she is.

She's having triplets. All boys.

She and David had to move into

an even bigger Tribeca apartment.

Mother, I can speak for myself.

I'm having triplets. All boys.

David and I had to move into an
even bigger Tribeca apartment.

How are you, Rebecca?

Oh, she's doing great.

She's a senior partner at her law firm.

Audra, you're still a
junior partner, I believe.

Well...

Now,

on to the planning
committee meeting. Ladies.

Well, the menu looks good.

Uh, so, do we know if Elayne Boosler

has any dietary restrictions?

Yeah, she never got back to us.

She e-mailed me. She's
allergic to dairy, of course.

(whispers): Jewish.

(chuckles) Oh.

(chuckles) Right?

And, Naomi, have you found
something to wear yet?

I could lend you something.

Or there's a wonderful new
consignment store in Rye.

Oh, Marilyn, don't you worry.
I found something gorgeous.

Size two.

You know, I think it's so wonderful

that you can bring Rebecca.

Since neither of you have husbands.

- Well, Rebecca's had your husband.
- REBECCA: Okay,

ladies, do we have to be

- so catty all the time?
- Who's being catty?

I'm very happy for these
two about their husbands.

Audra's husband has a small penis,

and Marilyn's husband
has droopy testicles.

(Naomi laughing)

I'm not saying

how I know this, but, uh...

I may also know that he
likes having them tickled.

What?

(sighs)

Tim! Jim!

Baseball is fun.

I like lemonade. Do you?

Guys, where's Paula? She's AWOL again.

I don't know. She's
not at the county jail

doing pro Bono work for inmates
while she's on the clock.

I-I said she's not.

This is why I don't tell you my secrets.

(knocking)

- Oh. Hey, Josh.
- Hey, Darryl.

I was just walking by with Hebby,

and I thought maybe Rebecca
might want to see her,

(chuckles): since, well...
since she's never acknowledged

or spent time with
her genetic offspring.

Well, she's out of town.

Jiminy Christmas!

What's happened here?

Oh, Josh.

Oh, this is sopping wet!

Yeah, yeah, it is.
Apparently, comforters take,

like, a million dryer cycles.

Mm-hmm. (scoffs)

Darryl, I was so
excited to be on my own,

but I don't know how to do anything.

I'm just...
dumb-dumb-dummy Josh.

Josh, calm down. It's okay.

This happened to me when I got divorced.

I'd never lived on my own
without a woman either.

You can do it.

(door closes)

(fish tank bubbling)

(sighs)

So, the public defender is
a wee bit slow to respond.

You think? By the time
that dude gets back to us,

my sentence will be over.

Paula, what are we gonna do?

Well, what we have to do is...

(lock buzzes)

(quietly): Oh, crap.

Nathaniel, look, I'm sorry.

I should have told you I was here.

And, yes, I was skipping out

on company time, but it was
for a very good reason...

You must be Nicky. Hello.

I'm Nathaniel Plimpton III.
I'd like to represent you.

You want to be my lawyer?

Mm-hmm.

With that hair

and that name and that suit?

It would be my pleasure.

But first things first, who wants to see

an adorable photo of
me at a pumpkin patch?

(chuckles)

Oh. Okay.

(door closes)

God, Mom, those women,

they're so mean.

Of course they're mean.

Do you think the world

of nonprofit Jewish women's charities

is a warm, cozy place? (laughs)

Anyway, this week,

it doesn't bother me, because I am

being honored.

For one day, I'll be on top.

- (phone vibrates)
- Ooh.

Got an e-mail.

You get notifications for e-mails?

That's how e-mails work, Rebecca.

Oh, no.

These letters are so small. (sighs)

I can't read this. What does it say?

Right. Wow, these letters are... huge.

- Oh, just read it. (sighs)
- Okay.

So, it's from Elayne
Boosler's assistant.

Uh-huh.

It says, "Elayne does not remember you.

Please stop inundating
us with e-mails."

Mom.

Oh, you said she was
coming. You told everyone.

- We hadn't exactly connected yet,
- (quietly): Oh, God.

But I was sure that she would show up.

I mean, she's a Camp Kavetcha girl.

It's in the camp song.

We stick together. (exhales)

Yeah, well, clearly not this time.

Oh, my God. (sighs)

Okay, Mom, I have an idea.

I'll introduce you, hmm?

Yeah. I'll say the things.

I'll write a whole speech.

You're no Elayne Boosler.

No.

But...

I'm your daughter,

and...

I'm proud of you.

You giving the speech.

Well...

you are a partner in your own law firm.

(inhales) Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, boy.

All right, now that you
brought it up, uh, Mom,

I was really hoping to tell you
something when you were up here,

but now you're more here.
But maybe that's good,

because you and I can live
in the reality of my life

and your life.

Okay? Um, Mom...

... I'm not a lawyer anymore.

You got disbarred?

No. No.

I quit.

It was always something
you wanted for me.

It was never what I wanted for myself.

Ever.

And now...

I run a small,
unprofitable pretzel stand.

And I'm happy.

(exhales): Okay.

So, let's just sit
with that for a minute.

***

but it feels really good to tell you.

Because now I can be myself,

and I don't have to put
up a facade all night.

What do you mean?

Well, now I don't have to lie

to all your awful friends.

Wait, wait, wait.

You want to tell people the truth?

At my event? (laughs)

Absolutely no way.

Forget it.

NATHANIEL: Statute 88B limits the use

of warrants in cases where the accused

is unable to appear due to
incarceration or illness.

We'd like to request
that the county waive

the additional penalties

and cancel the warrant.

She will pay the original fine.

Yeah, I can't pay the fines.

- (whispers): It's okay. I got it.
- All right, Ms. Warner.

Your attorney makes a valid point.

It costs the state more
to keep you incarcerated.

So pay the fine and you're free to go.

Yes.

(exhales) Yes.

Oh, my God.

What is this feeling I'm having?

Did I just do a good thing?

I think I did. (chuckles): Wow!

That feels great.

I feel all... warm and...

Is this fuzzy?

- Is this what fuzzy is?
- Oh, please.

What you just did is white savior crap.

You can't just sweep in here
and use your checkbook...

I'm actually fine with it.

Yeah, me, too. I just
felt like I should say it.

Nicky, you're free!

Oh, I feel like I took a bath in honey.

(chuckles) I'm almost turned on.

- Yeah, they take cash and check.
- Right.

- So run downstairs and pay.
- Yes.

- Grab my notes.
- Yeah. Run, run.

- Rebecca.
- What?

Stick to the script, okay?

Yeah, lie my face off. I got it.

Always so dramatic.

Shalom!

(phone ringing)

Hey. Is everything okay?

Hey, Becks! Uh, was just wondering

if you needed me to do
anything before you came home.

Turns out I'm good at domestic stuff.

It's not that hard.

You just use Common's sense,

and he's my favorite rapper. (chuckles)

I'm sorry. This trip
is a mess, and I just...

I got to find a way to
get through it somehow.

I came here to tell the
truth to one Jewish mother,

and now I'm lying to
a room full of them.

Oh. Becks, I'm sorry.

No, I-it's fine. Uh, I got to go.

See you soon. Bye.

Okay.

Bye.

Josh, I'm so impressed.

It really does look nice in here.

Oh. It was a lot of work.

Yeah. Well, it turns out
that's what being an adult is.

Lots of work.

She sounds so sad.

I really want to do
something nice for her.

I mean, she let me stay here.

Well, you could get her
some flowers or candy.

Well, I saw something on Quimblepop

I think she'd really like.

Okay, she loves autumn,

and they have these
murals at the paint store.

It's really easy. All I have to do

is pre-trim the image,

measure and etch
guidelines onto the wall,

apply the paste, double-cut the seams,

put up the panels, trim the overage,

remove the excess paste, and voilà!

Josh, you just learned
how to use tinfoil.

No, you're wrong, okay?

I'm a new man.

I can do stuff.

Ask Estrella.

Oh.

On my way to the paint store,

I'll stop by the pet store.

(sighs) Mm.

So sad about Elayne Boosler.

AUDRA: Oh.

You know, I personally
never thought she was coming.

Well...

I have better than Boosler.

I have my daughter.

Big-shot lawyer.

- Oh.
- Sure.

Mm. (chuckles)

(applause)

Uh, hello, everyone. Welcome.
Shalom, shalom, shalom.

I am, uh, thrilled to be here

at this event honoring my mother.

I would like to start out by telling
you a little bit about myself

and what a great influence

my mother has had

on my life and my, uh...

career.

(whispers): Is that... ?

Uh, ladies, I-I, uh...

I will be right back.

Please excuse me for one moment.

What? Elayne Boosler. How did you... ?

I called, said if she didn't show up,

you were gonna have
to go out there and lie

- and undo a lot of the work you've
done on yourself. - That's bull.

She promised me another
gig her company is doing,

a Radio City benefit
for some Internet weenie.

The pay is great.

Wait, do you actually know my mother?

Of course.
Naomi-Know-It-All.

Then why didn't you respond
to her e-mails or phone calls?

Have you met your mother?
She's a pain in the kishkes.

Who wants to do a favor for that?

That's a good point. I owe you one.

Oh, sorry about that, ladies.

You know, I could stand here

and talk to you all night,

but wouldn't you rather hear from...

Elayne Boosler?

She's here?

Elayne is here!

What?

Hello, everybody. Happy to be here.

Nothing I'd rather do than talk
about my dear, sweet, close,

personal friend Naomi.

Come on up, Naomi.

- (applause)
- Oh!

You know, when Naomi reached out

and asked me to talk tonight, my answer

was an automatic yes,

because Camp Kavetcha girls
are always there for each other.

Elayne, I'm so thrilled to see you.

- Thank you for coming.
- Of course.

- Are we gonna sing the song?
- You bet your pupik

we're gonna sing that damned song.

- Yes! You ready?
- Mm-hmm.

Wow, that song was
dead-on to this situation.

And so, after the camp song,

then you told everyone the truth?

Nope.
Nuh-uh. Mm-mm.

No one. I thought about
it, but then it hit me.

I don't need to tell everyone
everything all the time.

I mean, really,

using my mug shot as
my dating profile pic?

What's-what's that about?

I mean, I don't need outside approval

from others, and I certainly
don't need outside judgment

from people I frankly don't care about.

I know who I am now.

Finally.

- It's so freeing.
- (knock on door)

I'll get it.

Mom?

We showed everyone, huh?
Huh? Oh, hello, Valencia.

And girlfriend. Wow, are you cute.

Like your hair. We're friends now.

Okay. I...

Mom, what are you doing here?

We need to talk about
your career at the firm.

- What? I don't work at a firm.
- But you will.

I scheduled a conference call with them.

It's called Mountain something now.

Anyway, I reached a senior
partner, Bert Buttenweiser.

Nice man.

Told me all about his
seven dead sisters.

Wait, wait, Mom, what did you do?

He said that he will take you
back if that's what you wanted,

that they could use
you, and then I asked

if you could be partner
again, of course,

- and he said absolu...
- Enough!

Wow. That's enough.

So, I took a look at Hanifa's case,

and I have some thoughts
on that, as well. Okay.

Hold on. Why are you
doing this? This nice kick,

is this just another
scheme to get Rebecca back?

(scoffs) Is that what you think?

That's what the whole office thinks.

Hundo "P."

Maybe it started that way.

When she and I split up for good,

she said some tough things about me,

and they were true.

She was right.

So I decided to try and be nicer,

but, um, pumpkin photos don't cut it.

And now I know

that there's stuff I can do.

And I like it.

Okay.

Okay. I buy all that.

Also, it turns out there is a
shocking amount of unfairness

in the legal system. Did you know that?

No, I didn't.

No one did.

Thank God you figured it out.

Yeah.

Mom, it's over. Excuse me?

It's over. The old Rebecca
let you manipulate her,

but not anymore. I don't
want your opinion anymore.

I don't want your opinion on my career,

on my hair, on my
clothes, on my love life.

Nothing.

They are my choices,

and as of right now, they
are off-limits to you.

Okay? So, look,

we can chat, we can still gossip,

we can kibitz, we can
go out for a schmear,

but that's it.

I wish we could hide in the other room,

but there isn't one.

I am so proud of her.

I can't look 'cause
I'm Waspy, but so proud.

Now, you respect me and my boundaries,

or we will have no relationship at all.

Do I make myself clear?

Crystal.

(breathes deeply)

Hello. I'm back from Jew Hell.

Which is nothing,

'cause Jews don't
technically believe in Hell...

Oh, wow!

Oh, look at that. Josh.

Autumn. Oh, my God, did
you do that yourself?

Uh, I-I want to say yes,

but I know you're big on honesty,

so the truth is someone else

put it up after I glued my
feet to the floor by accident.

Also, I killed Estrella,

and I got a new one. I'm so sorry.

Oh, don't worry about that.

That's, like, the fourth Estrella.

And hey, hey, Heather doesn't know,

and she never will.

(chuckles softly) Yeah.

God.

Well, I-I should go. Um, I
have to get to the YMCA early

- to get a room so...
- Hey, Josh.

Don't go to the Y. Just stay here.

- Move in.
- Uh, really?

(scoffs) Us? Roommates?

I mean, do you think that's a good idea?

I think most people in the world won't

think that's a good idea. Like...

no one.

True. But you know what?

I no longer care what
other people think.

Screw 'em.

Okay, then. I'd love to.

Then it's settled. Okay.

Oh, I have a date to get ready for.

Let's see where the place is.

Oh, no.

Oh, man, Jason canceled.

I mean, okay,

he says he's sick, but...

he canceled on super short notice,

- so that means...
- Aw, sorry. Yeah.

That's such a bummer. I
was really looking forward

to having plans tonight.

But you do have plans.

What are you doing?

(laughs) Mmm. Oh, no.

It's too hot!

(chuckles) Oh, this
is so nice. Thank you.

Sometimes I forget how nice you can be.

Yeah. Sometimes I'm not too terrible.

Josh is living with me,

Nathaniel and I have a

Yeah, uh...

He didn't want me to tell you,

but Nathaniel

has come on to help out
with some of your cases.

And I got to say,

I've spent a lot of time with

Yeah. He's, like, a good person.
