Good Trouble (2019–…): Season 4, Episode 15 - You Know You Better Watch Out - full transcript
What if we partner
with a brand influencer
that can help
promote Bulk Beauty?
Zelda Grant has
over 10 million followers.
I'd like to accept.
Evan, you never responded
to my texts.
I don't think it's appropriate
for there to be an us,
now that we're
working together again.
I'm working
and living on a farm.
We call this place
The Colony.
I'm Silas.
JOAQUIN: You should've
heard this guy Silas talk.
He's got, like, all these women
living and working there.
I think Jenna's in a cult.
ASHER: Elliot's always
been an anxious kid.
I feel like
I'm screwing all this up.
Laura did
most of the parenting.
I had a son.
His name is Jacob,
and he died
when he was six years old.
Dennis, I just don't have time
for casual dating.
I'm not interested
in casual dating.
RYAN: I want
a serious relationship,
and kids.
GAEL:
I want us to be a family.
I wanna marry you.
MR. TAVEZ: [over voice mail]
Isabella, this is your father.
If I don't see proof
that you're serious
about putting the baby up
for adoption,
you'll leave me no choice but,
- to press charge...
- [line beeps off]
Isabella Tavez,
we have a warrant
for your arrest.
GAEL:
Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Episode Title:
"You Know You Better Watch Out"
Aired on:
August 11, 2022.
I don't know what happened.
- [grunting]
- [glass shattering]
I just...
I snapped.
I think I was so blindsided
with my parents saying we
should place the baby for adoption.
And then I saw my father's car
with his stupid
Car P DM vanity plate,
I just... I was so, like,
just overcome with anger.
- [grunting]
- [glass shattering]
And...
I just wanted to, like...
I wanted to hit back.
Okay. I understand.
But, Isabella, why
didn't you tell me about it?
I was just afraid
of what you would think of me.
I didn't want you to think that I
was, like, crazy or something.
Gael, I have never done
anything like this ever, okay?
I swear!
- Okay?
- I believe you.

MAN:
Smile.
So tell me the origins
of this all-women-owned app.
Well, uh, we all met
while working at Speckulate.
We called ourselves
the Fight Club Girls.
I love that. Why?
We were among
the few female employees
at Speckulate
at the time.
And it was a real boys' club...
Like tech can be.
And... And we got to talking
about how great it would be
to work for ourselves someday.
And then we found
the courage to quit
and bet on our own ideas.
And I was so totally blown away
by their one-stop-app
for the eco-conscious
beauty consumer,
I literally begged them
to let me jump on board
because I knew my fans
would love an app like this.
WOMAN:
Great going, ladies.
What's up, TikTok babes?
I'm inviting you all
to download the Bulk Beauty app
and join me using the
#sustainable beauty challenge!
One of my favorite things
about the Bulk Beauty app
is the community.
The app invites you
to share product reviews
with women
you're connected to.
And I can access my...
[all gasp, laugh]
Bulk Beauty is the best,
and I got this
for a discounted price.
50% off if you...
We've reached
250,000 subscribers!
289,000!
We just hit
300,000 subscribers!
- What!
- [all cheering]
So...
what happened
at your old school?
Why did you wanna stop going?
The kids were mean.
Mean about what?
You know, I got bullied
in school when I was your age.
Really? Why?
Well, the kids
teased me about my weight.
And... And the fact
that I didn't have a dad.
I mean, I had a dad,
but he left
when I was pretty young.
ASHER:
Hey!
Looks like
you two had fun today.
- Davia makes everything fun.
- DAVIA: Ah!
Hey, can she stay for dinner?
I'd love to!
- Yes!
- DAVIA: Yes.
The sentencing hearing
has been scheduled for Friday.
That... That soon?
Hey, the sooner we get
through this, the better, right?
What's the worst-case scenario?
Worst case, you get jail time.
Wait, how...
How much jail time?
Could I... Could I give birth
in prison?
You'd probably be looking
at six to nine months.
[Isabella gasps]
But I spoke
with my boss, Kathleen.
This is your first offense,
and you're taking responsibility
for your actions,
so we highly doubt
you'll get anything
more than community service.
Hey, whatever happens,
we're gonna get through this
together, okay?
Okay.
Elliot is really doing great
with his schoolwork,
but I feel like
he's missing out on so much
by being homeschooled.
Socially, academically,
not being in a classroom...
Have... Have you considered
having him talk to someone
about his anxiety?
Well, Laura took him
to a psychiatrist once,
but they just
wanted to medicate him.
Well, some kids
really benefit from medication.
But there are other options
that a therapist can explore.
Have you ever thought maybe
Elliot's refusal to go to school
has something to do
with his mother leaving?
Elliot had these issues
long before she left.
This is nothing new.
What Elliot needs
is structure and consistency.
We're doing fine.
Even better since you came
into our lives.
Well, I'm flattered,
but this
is beyond my skill set.
And I really think
that the goal should be
getting Elliot back in school.
[box clatters]
I'm not going back to school.
Calm down, buddy.
We were just talking...
No! I... I won't go back!
Well, you have
to go back eventually.
DAVIA:
Not right away,
but it would be good
for you
to be with other kids.
No! I hate other kids.
I hate everyone!
I'm not going back!
We've more than doubled
our users in just a few weeks...
- Wow.
- ...which is insane.
- Do you have any water?
- Yeah.
Zelda wasn't cheap,
but she was worth every penny.
Which is why we're thinking
of hiring her again
for another promotion cycle.
It's a lot of money,
but strike while
the iron's hot, right?
Hey, sounds smart to me.
I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
So... anything new on Silas?
Yeah, something pretty big,
actually.
So I finally got a copy
of the license
for Silas' honey company.
And now I know why
we haven't been able
to find anything solid
on Silas Thompson.
'Cause he's not a real person.
- What?
- Yeah.
Silas' real name
is Gary Brecker.
I don't know why I didn't
think of him using an alias.
But feels like we've...
We've just been wasting
the past few weeks
going down a rabbit hole,
when what I should've done is
just staked out the farmers' market
until Jenna showed up.
And then, you would have
gotten arrested
for violating
your restraining order.
Besides, what would
you have said to her
that you haven't said already?
She's not gonna
leave that place
unless we can prove that
Silas is a fraud. Or Gary.
And she probably doesn't
even know that's his real name.
- Yeah.
- Have you...
done a social media search
on Gary Brecker?
Well, I hadn't had
the chance yet
when someone came by
and distracted me.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get to work.
JOAQUIN:
All right.
By the way,
I know this is a casual thing,
but... maybe you'd let me
take you to dinner sometime?
Just as a thank you
for all your help.
Sure, I'd like that.
Okay.
[phone vibrating]
Oh, my God!
What, is Harry Styles
coming to LA?
No! Better!
Asher, Elliot's dad,
made a therapy appointment.
DENNIS: Well, you
know you're getting old
when therapy is more exciting
than a boy band.
Okay, boomer.
I'm not a boomer.
It was a joke because One
Direction's been on hiatus since 2015.
- Wow.
- [phone vibrating]
Oh. And, uh, apparently,
the therapist
would like to meet
with Asher and me first.
Is that weird?
- I think it's weird.
- I don't.
- I mean, I'm dealing with him all day.
- And night.
How many nights have you
spent at dinner over there?
Interesting.
How many nights
are you eating dinner with Ryan?
I'm dating Ryan.
Are you dating
what's-his-nuts?
No! I'm his son's teacher.
So, uh, what's
this Asher guy look like?
Like a frat-ier version
of you, actually.
Is that even possible?
[Davia and Kelly laugh]
I just think that
there needs to be boundaries.
I mean, you're not
this guy's life coach.
I know that!
And neither are you! Mine!
You know what I mean!
I'm not trying to save anyone.
I learned my lesson with you.
KELLY:
Oh-ho-ho! Burn! Good one.
If I didn't know any better,
which I don't...
[in British accent] ...I'd
say you're a tad bit jealous.
[♪♪]
I'm really impressed
that you do this.
Mm.
And... the food's
actually pretty good.
Oh-ho! Okay.
Solid 7 out of 10?
- Uh, 7.5.
- 7.5...
Yeah, but the heart behind it
makes it a total 10.
- I'm a fairy princess.
- Ah...
GIRL: And we have to crown her
queen before the evil fairy shows up.
- Come help us!
- Oh...
Uh, excuse me.
Um, trouble is brewing
in Fairy Princess Land.
And I'm... needed
at the princess' coronation.
Understood. Good luck.
I had a dream last night
about, uh, Jacob.
I haven't dreamt
about him in a while.
He was older,
like the age he'd be now.
Usually,
when I dream about him,
at some point, it hits me:
He's dead.
And... he vanishes.
That didn't happen this time?
No, I thought it would,
but... he offered me his hand,
I took it,
ran away.
I wonder what that means.
I don't know.
Maybe it means
my days are numbered,
and he's walking me
into the light.
GAEL:
[laughing] Stop it.
I think it might have to do with
a conversation I had with Ryan.
I might've given her
the impression
that I was open
to having a baby with her,
you know,
if things keep progressing.
But you don't want another kid?
I don't think so.
You think it's a deal breaker?
I think it might be.
RYAN:
Tiara! [Gasps] I found it!
Hurry!
Before the evil fairy comes!
[indistinct chatter]
Thank you, both,
for being here.
Davia, I'm interested in your
point of view as Elliot's teacher,
but I'd like
to start with Asher.
Tell me about Elliot.
Um...
My son's always had
a lot of social anxiety.
Uh, he didn't have
many friends,
which made him
an easy target for bullies.
But the panic attacks
began recently?
Has anything new happened
in Elliot's life?
My wife and I separated.
That's significant.
Does Elliot live with you
or does he go back and forth?
Elliot lives with me.
His mother's been
traveling in Europe.
He video chats with her
about once a week,
when she has reception.
THERAPIST:
And when was the last time
Elliot saw his mother
in person?
Um...
The day that she told us
she was leaving.
She told
you and Elliot together?
Yeah, she sat us down
and told us
that she wasn't happy
and that she needed
to leave for a while.
THERAPIST: That must've
been very painful for you.
We... We're not here
to talk about me.
THERAPIST: Had Elliot
ever refused to go to school
before his mother left?
Yes, but Laura
always got him there.
Like I said, my son's
always had social anxiety.
He's never liked school.
So what we need to focus on
is how to get him back
into a real classroom.
Eventually.
There's no hurry.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
can be very effective
for children with anxiety.
And there are tools
that can be implemented at home
and during Davia's lessons
to help him cope with triggers.
O... Okay. Great!
What are those?
[♪♪]
[indistinct chatter]
Hi, there.
My space car.
I see that. That's right.
And you're
a really good driver.
- Pilot.
- Oh, right.
Of course, pilot. Yep.
- Zoom. Zoom. Rrr...
- Oh! So fast! Yeah.
Well...

You're here late.
You are too.
Well, my app isn't going
as well as Bulk Beauty's.
Hiring Zelda
was the right move.
Definitely was. Agreed.
Oh, uh,
the elevator's not working.
We have to take the stairs.
Oh, good.
I need to get my steps in.
[♪♪]
After you.
Since things
are going so well,
we should be able
to give you
our first quarterly payment
this week
and, hopefully, buy you out
by the end of next year.
That's great. Sounds good.
It's locked.
- It's locked!
- It's locked.
- It's locked.
- Locked.
Locked.
Are we the last ones
in the building?
What if...
What if we're trapped
in here all night?
Okay, don't panic.
We'll just call someone.
- Do you have service?
- No.
What if no one finds us
until the morning?
[loudly] Hello!
[loudly]
Hello, can you hear us?
Is anyone out there?
- Help!
- We're banging on the door!
Hello! Can you hear us?
Ugh, I can't believe this.
Are you hungry?
Are you trying to torture me?
Why would I be trying
to torture you?
It... It was a joke.
Because there's
no food in here.
Oh, I have a protein bar.
We can split it.
Oh, okay.
No, I can't...
I can't be trapped
in here anymore.
[loudly]
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
Try to breathe.
Don't think about it
like being trapped.
And, you know,
at least we're together.
[screaming loudly]
Is anyone there? Help! Hello!
Wow. Thanks a lot.
What?
I said,
"At least we're together,"
and you started pounding
on the door again.
Do you really hate
being around me that much?
Of course not.
Well, you could've fooled me.
You've been so cold
and shut down around me,
and I don't know why.
You didn't even stay
at the launch party
when you said that you would.
I get that you were hurt
when we broke up,
but at the time,
I had no choice.
And when I tried to reach out
so we could talk about us,
- you totally blew me off.
- I...
I didn't blow you off.
I came to The Coterie
to talk in person,
but you were kissing somebody
in your loft.
So I left.
You saw me with Joaquin.
I don't know his name.
The back of his head
is very distinctive
with hipster neck tattoos
and... whatnot.
That was the same
back of the head
that I saw talking to you
at the launch party.
And touching your... elbow
in a flirtatious manner.
So that's why
you're upset with me?
Because you thought you saw me
kissing some other guy.
Well, I wasn't.
Joaquin kissed me.
So, uh...
What does that mean?
[♪♪]
[♪♪]
Hey.
What are you doing out here?
I'm just taking in the mountains
in your beautiful backyard.
[Asher laughs]
I've never lived anywhere
with a backyard before.
Laura found this house
and decorated it.
- As you can tell.
- [Davia chuckles]
I wasn't much of a suburbs guy,
but I got used to it.
Well, I can see why.
Wide streets,
ample parking, quiet.
I mean, I love living downtown,
but... this is tempting.
Thank you for going
to therapy with me yesterday.
I think this CBT is going
to be great for Elliot.
And she said it might be
only about ten sessions.
I think it's gonna
be really helpful for Elliot
- to have someone to talk to.
- Hmm.
And what about you?
Ever thought about
talking to someone?
About what?
About your wife leaving.
Hey. What are you guys doing?
We were just talking.
About your mom.
It's fine, Elliot.
Why do you always say that?
Aren't you sad Mom left?
Of course, I'm sad.
ELLIOT:
You don't seem like it.
You act like nothing happened.
Did Mom leave because of me?
Hey, wh... why would you
think that?
Because I'm bad?
Why would you think
you're bad?
Because I don't have
any friends,
I don't like school,
I get upset at things.
Maybe Mom just got tired
of having to take care of me.
Isn't that why
you want to leave?
I... I don't wanna leave,
Elliot.
ASHER: Okay. Hey.
Hey. Hey. Let's go inside.
Okay, come on,
let's sit down.
[indistinct chatter]
[♪♪]
JUDGE:
Is everyone ready?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, we are, Your Honor.
Elliot...
your mom left
because she wasn't happy
with me.
Then why did she tell us both
that she wasn't happy?
I think maybe your mom
was unhappy with herself,
inside.
And that has nothing
to do with you or your dad.
Sometimes people try
to fix their unhappiness
by running away,
even from the people they love.
ASHER: And, Elliot, I am
sad that your mom is gone.
And I thought that
by holding my sadness in,
I was being strong for you.
But maybe I was just trying
to avoid feeling
the bad feelings
because it hurts.
It's okay, Dad.
You have me.
Elliot, I promise you,
I am never going to leave you.
Ever.
[♪♪]
Good morning.
CLAIRE: Hi, how late
did you stay last night?
- Just a little after midnight.
- Oof!
Well, with greater success
comes greater work.
I was up so late,
I can't even see straight.
Hey!
I'm so psyched
y'all wanna do another campaign.
We're so happy to have you
as our brand influencer.
Yeah, and part of the team!
Me too!
And we've just been
approached by Pertutti,
which is this huge,
intentionally inclusive brand.
Pertutti means "for all"
in Italian.
They want us to promote
their line of
menstrual hygiene products
on our app,
with their tag line:
"For people
who have periods."
Wait, why "people"
and not just "women"?
I mean,
only women get periods.
Well, trans men and non-binary
people can also get periods.
[scoffs] Whatever.
I've got some really fun ideas
for the next campaign,
but I've got to run for now.
Let's get a meeting
on the books.
What was that?
Did she just... scoff?
- Yeah, she definitely scoffed.
- Yeah.
MARIANA: Unfortunately,
some women believe
that trans
and non-binary people
should be excluded
from things
that they consider
to be only for women.
Uh, but we want all people
to feel welcomed by Bulk Beauty,
regardless
of how they identify.
We don't want someone with
beliefs like that representing us,
do we?
Well, maybe she misunderstood
what we said.
Or we misunderstood
what she said.
We just asked her
to do another campaign.
[phone vibrating]
- [Isabella grunting]
- [glass breaking]
[glass breaking sounds
continue over video]
Will the defendant
please stand?
It is my understanding
the State has offered a plea
by which the felony charge
will be reduced
to a misdemeanor.
Is that correct, counselors?
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE:
And, Ms. Tavez,
do you understand
that if I accept your plea,
you will be convicted
of the crime
to which you are
pleading guilty today
and you will
not have a trial?
Yes, I understand.
And, uh...
I just want to say
how sorry I am
for my actions, Your Honor.
I think that apology
belongs to your parents.
I'm disturbed
by what you did to their car.
And, frankly, worried
about your impulse control
in spite of this
being your first offense.
But the court accepts
defendant's plea
and sentences Ms. Tavez
to 50 hours
of community service
and 18 months
of summary probation.
I'll hear the next case.
Your Honor,
we're Isabella's parents.
May we address the court?
Quickly.
My wife and I would like
the court to intervene
for the safety
of our daughter's child.
Isabella has a history
of erratic, dangerous behavior
and anger management issues.
ROWAN:
Objection.
She was expelled
from high school,
has been caught shoplifting
multiple times,
and she burned
our wedding album once
in a fit of rage.
MR. TAVEZ:
Nearly burned our house down.
ROWAN:
Objection!
This is improper, Your Honor.
My client...
MR. TAVEZ:
We love our daughter,
but she's not fit
to be a mother.
JUDGE: Mr. and Mrs. Tavez,
I appreciate your concern,
but this isn't going
to be heard in my courtroom.
Any concerns
for the baby's safety
should be addressed
in family court.
There, you can request
Child Protective Services'
oversight
once the baby is born.
Next case, please.

Then I realized it was keeping

But I couldn't imagine
bringing it down,
so I asked Gael
to... do something over it.
Something beautiful

and... had Jacob inside it.

When you asked me
what we were doing,
and you said you wanted
to have kids soon,
I may have given you
the impression
that I was open to that.
Is that something...
you're not open to?
I didn't think I was.
Until we were at the hospital
and that little boy
jumped up on my lap
with his little car.
Took my hand.
Reminded me of a dream
I had about Jacob,
where he took my hand.
Still don't really know
what it means, but...
Well...
maybe he's giving me
permission, uh...
To be happy?
To give all the love you have
to another beautiful soul.
Maybe.
[♪♪]
I know there are no guarantees.
I just...
I wanted to know
that you're...
open to all possibilities...
and that there's nothing...
and no one else
holding you back.
I am open to all possibilities,
even having
another child someday.
[♪♪]
[Gael exhales]
You've hardly said anything
to me since court.
I'm just
processing everything.
Some of what
my parents said was true,
but I was a teenager
at that time.
I... I'm a different person now.
I've changed.
Isabella, you smashed
your parents' car
just last month.
I was trying
to protect our baby.
How is lashing out
and risking your freedom,
protecting the baby?
You could've gone
to jail, Isabella!
See, I... I... I knew
that you were gonna do that.
That... That's exactly
why I didn't tell you.
'Cause I knew that
you were going to judge me!
I'm not judging you.
I'm just trying to understand.
- Can you please just sit down?
- What does this mean?
Are... Are you gonna leave me?
Have your feelings changed?
No! But I think we should talk
about what happened!
You said that you wanted
to marry me after the wedding.
That was weeks ago,
and you haven't said
anything about it since.
Why is that?
Because we've had
bigger things to deal with.
You're lying.
- You're lying to me.
- Isabella, please.
No, because you...
You never loved me.
You... You never chose me.
You just... You just
wanted to be with me
because I'm having the baby!
- Isabella!
- You never loved me!
- And you never wanted to marry me!
- Isabella, stop. Stop!
[grunts] Shit!
[♪♪]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Gael, I... I didn't mean
to hit you.
- Don't. Don't. Don't touch me.
- I didn't mean...
Just get away from me!

Thank you. Again.
You've done so much for us
in such a short time.
Well, I'm happy to help.
Something you said to me
really made a lot of sense.
Laura was never really happy.
And I think she thought
that getting married
and having Elliot
would change that.
And then when it didn't, she...
Anyway, the point is,
I think I should find
someone to talk to.
I don't expect you
to be our therapist.
I'm happy to hear that
because I am no longer
in the saving-people business.

- See you.

"You Know You Better Watch Out"
Aired on:
August 11, 2022.
I don't know what happened.
- [grunting]
- [glass shattering]
I just...
I snapped.
I think I was so blindsided
with my parents saying we
should place the baby for adoption.
And then I saw my father's car
with his stupid
Car P DM vanity plate,
I just... I was so, like,
just overcome with anger.
- [grunting]
- [glass shattering]
And...
I just wanted to, like...
I wanted to hit back.
Okay. I understand.
But, Isabella, why
didn't you tell me about it?
I was just afraid
of what you would think of me.
I didn't want you to think that I
was, like, crazy or something.
Gael, I have never done
anything like this ever, okay?
I swear!
- Okay?
- I believe you.

MAN:
Smile.
So tell me the origins
of this all-women-owned app.
Well, uh, we all met
while working at Speckulate.
We called ourselves
the Fight Club Girls.
I love that. Why?
We were among
the few female employees
at Speckulate
at the time.
And it was a real boys' club...
Like tech can be.
And... And we got to talking
about how great it would be
to work for ourselves someday.
And then we found
the courage to quit
and bet on our own ideas.
And I was so totally blown away
by their one-stop-app
for the eco-conscious
beauty consumer,
I literally begged them
to let me jump on board
because I knew my fans
would love an app like this.
WOMAN:
Great going, ladies.
What's up, TikTok babes?
I'm inviting you all
to download the Bulk Beauty app
and join me using the
#sustainable beauty challenge!
One of my favorite things
about the Bulk Beauty app
is the community.
The app invites you
to share product reviews
with women
you're connected to.
And I can access my...
[all gasp, laugh]
Bulk Beauty is the best,
and I got this
for a discounted price.

We just hit
300,000 subscribers!
- What!
- [all cheering]
So...
what happened
at your old school?
Why did you wanna stop going?
The kids were mean.
Mean about what?
You know, I got bullied
in school when I was your age.
Really? Why?
Well, the kids
teased me about my weight.
And... And the fact
that I didn't have a dad.
I mean, I had a dad,
but he left
when I was pretty young.
ASHER:
Hey!
Looks like
you two had fun today.
- Davia makes everything fun.
- DAVIA: Ah!
Hey, can she stay for dinner?
I'd love to!
- Yes!
- DAVIA: Yes.
The sentencing hearing
has been scheduled for Friday.
That... That soon?
Hey, the sooner we get
through this, the better, right?
What's the worst-case scenario?
Worst case, you get jail time.
Wait, how...
How much jail time?
Could I... Could I give birth
in prison?
You'd probably be looking
at six to nine months.
[Isabella gasps]
But I spoke
with my boss, Kathleen.
This is your first offense,
and you're taking responsibility
for your actions,
so we highly doubt
you'll get anything
more than community service.
Hey, whatever happens,
we're gonna get through this
together, okay?
Okay.
Elliot is really doing great
with his schoolwork,
but I feel like
he's missing out on so much
by being homeschooled.
Socially, academically,
not being in a classroom...
Have... Have you considered
having him talk to someone
about his anxiety?
Well, Laura took him
to a psychiatrist once,
but they just
wanted to medicate him.
Well, some kids
really benefit from medication.
But there are other options
that a therapist can explore.
Have you ever thought maybe
Elliot's refusal to go to school
has something to do
with his mother leaving?
Elliot had these issues
long before she left.
This is nothing new.
What Elliot needs
is structure and consistency.
We're doing fine.
Even better since you came
into our lives.
Well, I'm flattered,
but this
is beyond my skill set.
And I really think
that the goal should be
getting Elliot back in school.
[box clatters]
I'm not going back to school.
Calm down, buddy.
We were just talking...
No! I... I won't go back!
Well, you have
to go back eventually.
DAVIA:
Not right away,
but it would be good
for you
to be with other kids.
No! I hate other kids.
I hate everyone!
I'm not going back!
We've more than doubled
our users in just a few weeks...
- Wow.
- ...which is insane.
- Do you have any water?
- Yeah.
Zelda wasn't cheap,
but she was worth every penny.
Which is why we're thinking
of hiring her again
for another promotion cycle.
It's a lot of money,
but strike while
the iron's hot, right?
Hey, sounds smart to me.
I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
So... anything new on Silas?
Yeah, something pretty big,
actually.
So I finally got a copy
of the license
for Silas' honey company.
And now I know why
we haven't been able
to find anything solid
on Silas Thompson.
'Cause he's not a real person.
- What?
- Yeah.
Silas' real name
is Gary Brecker.
I don't know why I didn't
think of him using an alias.
But feels like we've...
We've just been wasting
the past few weeks
going down a rabbit hole,
when what I should've done is
just staked out the farmers' market
until Jenna showed up.
And then, you would have
gotten arrested
for violating
your restraining order.
Besides, what would
you have said to her
that you haven't said already?
She's not gonna
leave that place
unless we can prove that
Silas is a fraud. Or Gary.
And she probably doesn't
even know that's his real name.
- Yeah.
- Have you...
done a social media search
on Gary Brecker?
Well, I hadn't had
the chance yet
when someone came by
and distracted me.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get to work.
JOAQUIN:
All right.
By the way,
I know this is a casual thing,
but... maybe you'd let me
take you to dinner sometime?
Just as a thank you
for all your help.
Sure, I'd like that.
Okay.
[phone vibrating]
Oh, my God!
What, is Harry Styles
coming to LA?
No! Better!
Asher, Elliot's dad,
made a therapy appointment.
DENNIS: Well, you
know you're getting old
when therapy is more exciting
than a boy band.
Okay, boomer.
I'm not a boomer.
It was a joke because One
Direction's been on hiatus since 2015.
- Wow.
- [phone vibrating]
Oh. And, uh, apparently,
the therapist
would like to meet
with Asher and me first.
Is that weird?
- I think it's weird.
- I don't.
- I mean, I'm dealing with him all day.
- And night.
How many nights have you
spent at dinner over there?
Interesting.
How many nights
are you eating dinner with Ryan?
I'm dating Ryan.
Are you dating
what's-his-nuts?
No! I'm his son's teacher.
So, uh, what's
this Asher guy look like?
Like a frat-ier version
of you, actually.
Is that even possible?
[Davia and Kelly laugh]
I just think that
there needs to be boundaries.
I mean, you're not
this guy's life coach.
I know that!
And neither are you! Mine!
You know what I mean!
I'm not trying to save anyone.
I learned my lesson with you.
KELLY:
Oh-ho-ho! Burn! Good one.
If I didn't know any better,
which I don't...
[in British accent] ...I'd
say you're a tad bit jealous.
[♪♪]
I'm really impressed
that you do this.
Mm.
And... the food's
actually pretty good.
Oh-ho! Okay.
Solid 7 out of 10?
- Uh, 7.5.
- 7.5...
Yeah, but the heart behind it
makes it a total 10.
- I'm a fairy princess.
- Ah...
GIRL: And we have to crown her
queen before the evil fairy shows up.
- Come help us!
- Oh...
Uh, excuse me.
Um, trouble is brewing
in Fairy Princess Land.
And I'm... needed
at the princess' coronation.
Understood. Good luck.
I had a dream last night
about, uh, Jacob.
I haven't dreamt
about him in a while.
He was older,
like the age he'd be now.
Usually,
when I dream about him,
at some point, it hits me:
He's dead.
And... he vanishes.
That didn't happen this time?
No, I thought it would,
but... he offered me his hand,
I took it,
ran away.
I wonder what that means.
I don't know.
Maybe it means
my days are numbered,
and he's walking me
into the light.
GAEL:
[laughing] Stop it.
I think it might have to do with
a conversation I had with Ryan.
I might've given her
the impression
that I was open
to having a baby with her,
you know,
if things keep progressing.
But you don't want another kid?
I don't think so.
You think it's a deal breaker?
I think it might be.
RYAN:
Tiara! [Gasps] I found it!
Hurry!
Before the evil fairy comes!
[indistinct chatter]
Thank you, both,
for being here.
Davia, I'm interested in your
point of view as Elliot's teacher,
but I'd like
to start with Asher.
Tell me about Elliot.
Um...
My son's always had
a lot of social anxiety.
Uh, he didn't have
many friends,
which made him
an easy target for bullies.
But the panic attacks
began recently?
Has anything new happened
in Elliot's life?
My wife and I separated.
That's significant.
Does Elliot live with you
or does he go back and forth?
Elliot lives with me.
His mother's been
traveling in Europe.
He video chats with her
about once a week,
when she has reception.
THERAPIST:
And when was the last time
Elliot saw his mother
in person?
Um...
The day that she told us
she was leaving.
She told
you and Elliot together?
Yeah, she sat us down
and told us
that she wasn't happy
and that she needed
to leave for a while.
THERAPIST: That must've
been very painful for you.
We... We're not here
to talk about me.
THERAPIST: Had Elliot
ever refused to go to school
before his mother left?
Yes, but Laura
always got him there.
Like I said, my son's
always had social anxiety.
He's never liked school.
So what we need to focus on
is how to get him back
into a real classroom.
Eventually.
There's no hurry.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
can be very effective
for children with anxiety.
And there are tools
that can be implemented at home
and during Davia's lessons
to help him cope with triggers.
O... Okay. Great!
What are those?
[♪♪]
[indistinct chatter]
Hi, there.
My space car.
I see that. That's right.
And you're
a really good driver.
- Pilot.
- Oh, right.
Of course, pilot. Yep.
- Zoom. Zoom. Rrr...
- Oh! So fast! Yeah.

Don't think about it

And, you know,
at least we're together.
[screaming loudly]
Is anyone there? Help! Hello!
Wow. Thanks a lot.
What?
I said,
"At least we're together,"
and you started pounding
on the door again.
Do you really hate
being around me that much?
Of course not.
Well, you could've fooled me.
You've been so cold
and shut down around me,
and I don't know why.
You didn't even stay
at the launch party
when you said that you would.
I get that you were hurt
when we broke up,
but at the time,
I had no choice.
And when I tried to reach out
so we could talk about us,
- you totally blew me off.
- I...
I didn't blow you off.
I came to The Coterie
to talk in person,
but you were kissing somebody
in your loft.
So I left.
You saw me with Joaquin.
I don't know his name.
The back of his head
is very distinctive
with hipster neck tattoos
and... whatnot.
That was the same
back of the head
that I saw talking to you
at the launch party.
And touching your... elbow
in a flirtatious manner.
So that's why
you're upset with me?
Because you thought you saw me
kissing some other guy.
Well, I wasn't.
Joaquin kissed me.
So, uh...
What does that mean?
[♪♪]
[♪♪]
Hey.
What are you doing out here?
I'm just taking in the mountains
in your beautiful backyard.
[Asher laughs]
I've never lived anywhere
with a backyard before.
Laura found this house
and decorated it.
- As you can tell.
- [Davia chuckles]
I wasn't much of a suburbs guy,
but I got used to it.
Well, I can see why.
Wide streets,
ample parking, quiet.
I mean, I love living downtown,
but... this is tempting.
Thank you for going
to therapy with me yesterday.
I think this CBT is going
to be great for Elliot.
And she said it might be
only about ten sessions.
I think it's gonna
be really helpful for Elliot
- to have someone to talk to.
- Hmm.
And what about you?
Ever thought about
talking to someone?
About what?
About your wife leaving.
Hey. What are you guys doing?
We were just talking.
About your mom.
It's fine, Elliot.
Why do you always say that?
Aren't you sad Mom left?
Of course, I'm sad.
ELLIOT:
You don't seem like it.
You act like nothing happened.
Did Mom leave because of me?
Hey, wh... why would you
think that?
Because I'm bad?
Why would you think
you're bad?
Because I don't have
any friends,
I don't like school,
I get upset at things.
Maybe Mom just got tired
of having to take care of me.
Isn't that why
you want to leave?
I... I don't wanna leave,
Elliot.
ASHER: Okay. Hey.
Hey. Hey. Let's go inside.
Okay, come on,
let's sit down.
[indistinct chatter]
[♪♪]
JUDGE:
Is everyone ready?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, we are, Your Honor.
Elliot...
your mom left
because she wasn't happy
with me.
Then why did she tell us both
that she wasn't happy?
I think maybe your mom
was unhappy with herself,
inside.
And that has nothing
to do with you or your dad.
Sometimes people try
to fix their unhappiness
by running away,
even from the people they love.
ASHER: And, Elliot, I am
sad that your mom is gone.
And I thought that
by holding my sadness in,
I was being strong for you.
But maybe I was just trying
to avoid feeling
the bad feelings
because it hurts.
It's okay, Dad.
You have me.
Elliot, I promise you,
I am never going to leave you.
Ever.
[♪♪]
Good morning.
CLAIRE: Hi, how late
did you stay last night?
- Just a little after midnight.
- Oof!
Well, with greater success
comes greater work.
I was up so late,
I can't even see straight.
Hey!
I'm so psyched
y'all wanna do another campaign.
We're so happy to have you
as our brand influencer.
Yeah, and part of the team!
Me too!
And we've just been
approached by Pertutti,
which is this huge,
intentionally inclusive brand.
Pertutti means "for all"
in Italian.
They want us to promote
their line of
menstrual hygiene products
on our app,
with their tag line:
"For people
who have periods."
Wait, why "people"
and not just "women"?
I mean,
only women get periods.
Well, trans men and non-binary
people can also get periods.
[scoffs] Whatever.
I've got some really fun ideas
for the next campaign,
but I've got to run for now.
Let's get a meeting
on the books.
What was that?
Did she just... scoff?
- Yeah, she definitely scoffed.
- Yeah.
MARIANA: Unfortunately,
some women believe
that trans
and non-binary people
should be excluded
from things
that they consider
to be only for women.
Uh, but we want all people
to feel welcomed by Bulk Beauty,
regardless
of how they identify.
We don't want someone with
beliefs like that representing us,
do we?
Well, maybe she misunderstood
what we said.
Or we misunderstood
what she said.
We just asked her
to do another campaign.
[phone vibrating]
- [Isabella grunting]
- [glass breaking]
[glass breaking sounds
continue over video]
Will the defendant
please stand?
It is my understanding
the State has offered a plea
by which the felony charge
will be reduced
to a misdemeanor.
Is that correct, counselors?
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.
JUDGE:
And, Ms. Tavez,
do you understand
that if I accept your plea,
you will be convicted
of the crime
to which you are
pleading guilty today
and you will
not have a trial?
Yes, I understand.
And, uh...
I just want to say
how sorry I am
for my actions, Your Honor.
I think that apology
belongs to your parents.
I'm disturbed
by what you did to their car.
And, frankly, worried
about your impulse control
in spite of this
being your first offense.
But the court accepts
defendant's plea
and sentences Ms. Tavez
to 50 hours
of community service
and 18 months
of summary probation.
I'll hear the next case.
Your Honor,
we're Isabella's parents.
May we address the court?
Quickly.
My wife and I would like
the court to intervene
for the safety
of our daughter's child.
Isabella has a history
of erratic, dangerous behavior
and anger management issues.
ROWAN:
Objection.
She was expelled
from high school,
has been caught shoplifting
multiple times,
and she burned
our wedding album once
in a fit of rage.
MR. TAVEZ:
Nearly burned our house down.
ROWAN:
Objection!
This is improper, Your Honor.
My client...
MR. TAVEZ:
We love our daughter,
but she's not fit
to be a mother.
JUDGE: Mr. and Mrs. Tavez,
I appreciate your concern,
but this isn't going
to be heard in my courtroom.
Any concerns
for the baby's safety
should be addressed
in family court.
There, you can request
Child Protective Services'
oversight
once the baby is born.
Next case, please.

Until we were at the hospital
and that little boy
jumped up on my lap
with his little car.
Took my hand.
Reminded me of a dream
I had about Jacob,
where he took my hand.
Still don't really know
what it means, but...
Well...
maybe he's giving me
permission, uh...
To be happy?
To give all the love you have
to another beautiful soul.
Maybe.
[♪♪]
I know there are no guarantees.
I just...
I wanted to know
that you're...
open to all possibilities...
and that there's nothing...
and no one else
holding you back.
I am open to all possibilities,
even having
another child someday.
[♪♪]
[Gael exhales]
You've hardly said anything
to me since court.
I'm just
processing everything.
Some of what
my parents said was true,
but I was a teenager
at that time.
I... I'm a different person now.
I've changed.
Isabella, you smashed
your parents' car
just last month.
I was trying
to protect our baby.
How is lashing out
and risking your freedom,
protecting the baby?
You could've gone
to jail, Isabella!
See, I... I... I knew
that you were gonna do that.
That... That's exactly
why I didn't tell you.
'Cause I knew that
you were going to judge me!
I'm not judging you.
I'm just trying to understand.
- Can you please just sit down?
- What does this mean?
Are... Are you gonna leave me?
Have your feelings changed?
No! But I think we should talk
about what happened!
You said that you wanted
to marry me after the wedding.
That was weeks ago,
and you haven't said
anything about it since.
Why is that?
Because we've had
bigger things to deal with.
You're lying.
- You're lying to me.
- Isabella, please.
No, because you...
You never loved me.
You... You never chose me.
You just... You just
wanted to be with me
because I'm having the baby!
- Isabella!
- You never loved me!
- And you never wanted to marry me!
- Isabella, stop. Stop!
[grunts] Shit!
[♪♪]
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Gael, I... I didn't mean
to hit you.
- Don't. Don't. Don't touch me.
- I didn't mean...
Just get away from me!
[gasps]
Thank you. Again.
You've done so much for us
in such a short time.
Well, I'm happy to help.
Something you said to me
really made a lot of sense.
Laura was never really happy.
And I think she thought
that getting married
and having Elliot
would change that.
And then when it didn't, she...
Anyway, the point is,
I think I should find
someone to talk to.
I don't expect you
to be our therapist.
I'm happy to hear that
because I am no longer
in the saving-people business.
[Davia clears throat]
- I'll see you on Monday.
- See you.
Good night.

Hey. You ready for dinner?
Actually, I had a rough day.
And I was wondering
if we could do dinner
another time?
I'm sorry, I just...
I... I don't think I would be
good company tonight.
Yeah, no. Sure.
It's no problem.
Thanks for understanding.
♪ Oh, let it be
[♪♪]
So that's why
you're upset with me?
Because you thought you saw me
kissing some other guy?
Well, I wasn't.
Joaquin kissed me.
So, uh...
What does that mean?
[♪♪]
Excuse me.
- EVAN: No, no, no, no!
- Wait, let us out!
So...
he was kissing you,
but you weren't kissing him?
Right.
Nothing was going on
between us.
Then.
Then?
Nothing was going on then.
And I did want to talk
to you that night about us.
But... after
you were so cold to me
and you insisted on keeping
everything professional,
I did sort of
get involved with Joaquin.
I see.
Well, I guess there's nothing
more to say. Good night then.
