The L Word: Generation Q...
-I'm really sorry, Alice.
-For which part?
For defending you on my show?
For not telling me you started
seeing Felicity again?
Alice, wait.
Just wait.
Angie called me.
[sighing]
Please don't go.
[Shane]
Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yay.
-I told you!
[Quiara]
I love seeing you like this.
-I'm in.
-Yeah?
Oh, my God. Yes.
[Shane]
So you're a throuple now?
[Toni] I wish my best
friends lived in L.A.
We're not friends.
[Nat]
She outed us
to a stranger
before we even
told our children.
I have all these
feelings, you know?
-For Gigi?
-But, like, all the feelings.
All the bad stuff
and the good stuff.
I don't want to lose you.
[Sophie] You're, like,
the best part of my day.
I love the shit out of you!
-I love you, too, man.
-[Dani] Right now I just need
-a little bit of space.
-Hey, no, no, no, no, no.
Enough with the space.
I want you to talk to me.
I don't have anything to say!
[Finley]
She's like a super cold,
-hot lady.
-You know who else is hot?
-Bette Porter.
-[Dani] But you can't
deny that she's special.
-She inspires me every day.
-I see.
This is something else for you.
Bye, Dani.

Okay. Bye-bye.
Aah! Pierce really
fucked us when he left,
and Bette's not gonna
hire anyone new
this late in the race.
I'm sorry, babe.
Um, can you pass me the razor?
Huh? Oh. Yeah, yeah.
Here you go.

This is Dani Nùñez.

-You're welcome.
-Hi.
-Do you know if the kids ate?
Yeah. Gigi made them breakfast.
Oh, my God.
Now I can do my makeup here
instead of in the car.
[gasps]
She color-coded the closet.
Oh, yeah, she does that.
How did we even, like,
live without her
-this whole time?
-[Gigi] Morning.
Lunches are packed.
I'm-- Hi.
Hi.
I'm dropping Eli
off at ballet, and...
one of the soccer moms is
picking up Olive for practice.
Do you all want to do dinner?
Oh, I can't. Today's the
day I meet the network.
Oh. Are you asking them
to get rid of Drew?
Yup. Got to. I mean, I can
deal with him for the rest
of this season, but he can't
come back next year.
[Nat]
That's very reasonable.
-Yeah.
-Wow, good luck.
Okay, so, should I pick up
dinner for us then?
-Yeah, that'd be great.
-Yup.
Oh. And then, can we please
watch Below Deck?
-[sneezes]
-I have to find out
-if Hannah stays with that guy.
-Yeah, of course.
Hey, guys, can you not
watch that without me?
I mean, can we
make that a rule?
Like, if it's at sea,
it's got to be three?
That was really bad.
Yeah, it wasn't your best.
Well, it's early.
I'll find it.
[Dani]
Okay, yes.
Yes, uh-huh.
What day was it
did you say?
-No.
-[mutters]
She has that pancake breakfast
tomorrow morning
with the first responders
at 10 a.m.
Shit! Did I double-book her?
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
-I owe you big time.
-[line beeping]
But I actually have another
call right now. Mm-hmm.
This is Dani.
Great, my mom
landed an hour ago,
and went straight
to the pot shop.
-Oh, sativa pen, please.
-No, no, it's too late.
She, uh, she
got 24 gummies.
Oh, damn.
She's gonna be stoned
when she meets José later.
Yeah. I wish my mom smoked
a little more weed.
-Calm her ass down.
-[phone vibrating]
-Oh, shit. Hold on.
-[Dani] Yes, I-I have it.
Just give me one second
to pull it up.
Oh, look at that.
She's calling me.
She gets a little psychic when
I talk shit about her. [laughs]
Thank you. Bye-bye.
[speaks Spanish]
Please.
Okay, okay, w-w-w-wai-wait.
Calm down. H... Stop. What?
What happened?
Slow down!

-Oh, my God. Is she okay?
-I'm sorry.
-Are you okay?

thinks that she hit her head,
and they're on their way
to the hospital, and my
mom's fucking hysterical.
-[Micah] Are you gonna go now?
-Yeah.
Oh, I-I'll come with you.
I'll cancel my morning.
No. It's okay.
You go to work, okay?
-No, I don't have to. I want--

How are you?
-Come on in.
-Hi, my baby.
Hi, Mom.
Oh, my goodness.
I miss you so much.
[laughs]
Aw. You lost weight.
[Tina] Oh, my God,
it's beautiful in here.
Dana would have loved
this place.
-[soft rock playing]
-I think so, too.
And the place is
picking up business.
Yeah, it's incredible.
-Just so pretty in here.
-Should I take this?

Is Alice not coming?
No. She's still
mad at you.
Ooh. For the Felicity thing?
I have apologized
-and apologized and apologized.
-I know. I know.
I know, and I told you
to give her time.
-She'll come around.
-Yeah.
So, how's Quiara?
Quiara's good.
We're gonna hear
the baby's heartbeat today.
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God.
[Bette]
I still remember hearing Angie's
-first little heartbeat.
-Oh, my God, me, too.
It was like this little sign
of this big life to come.
It was so special.
-It was amazing.
-Oh.
-We were... sobbing.
-Sobbing.
-Just bawling.
-I was destroyed.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Oh, and what is
it that you said
-that it sounded like?
-Like horses
-stampeding in mud. Yeah.
-Horses stampeding in mud.
[laughs]
[clears throat]
Speaking of our daughter,
I will be over later
to pick her up for the museum.
And then you're gonna
drop her off at Jordi's
'cause they're gonna
watch a movie.
-You know what that means.
-[Tina] Hey.
Don't do that.
Don't freak her out.
-I'm just being honest.
-No, no, no, no. I can't.
I can't hear it. I'm not ready.
I'm not ready to hear it.
-Okay. All right.
-Are you available tonight?
For dinner?
Just us.
Uh...
Sure. Yeah. That would be nice.
I mean, you know,
actually, why don't you come
by the house, and I'll cook?

[Percy]
Let me know if you have
any more questions.
We're gonna be back to prep her
for surgery shortly.
And if you need anything
before that,
the nurse's station
is just outside the door.
Okay. Thank you.
-[door closes]
-I don't like her.
-Should we get a second opinion?
-Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
-We don't have time for that.
-I don't like this place.
Okay? They said it was
a very simple procedure.
They know what they're doing.
-If anything happens to her--
-Oh, my God.
-Hey. Hey!
-If anything, I swear to God.
Stop. Okay?
-Yeah, Mami, stop.
-Okay.
Do you want some coffee?
I think you want some coffee.
You hungry?
I could get you something.
What do you want?
-I could do coffee.
-Okay.
-I'm fucking starving.

[sniffles]
Oh. It's gonna be okay.
[sighs]
Thank you. I-I really
do appreciate it.
Okay. So that was my buddy.
And he works at a local
CBS affiliate,
and he was-- Why has this line
not fucking moved?
It's fine.
It's fine.
People can hear you.
-Sorry.
-Okay.
So, your-your
friend at CBS?
Right, and he was saying
that Milner's team bought up
a ton of airtime.
They're gearing up
to launch something big.
I'm hearing that it's going to
be a negative attack campaign.
And I know he said he wouldn't,
but he's-he's going for it.
Milner's a lot of things,
but he's not a liar.
He's never been backed
into a corner before.
He's scared.
He's gonna go for blood,
and he's gonna run those ads.
And we're just
gonna drown him out
with policy and voter outreach.
But if he goes for you
with-with only two weeks left,
and we don't have a negative ad
to counter with,
then we're kind of fucked.
Your job is to help me
shape my message
and get it out
into the world.
Thanks, sweetheart.
All right, all right. Thank you.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Two medium coffees,
one with room, one without.
-Please.
-Please.
Coming right up.
As your acting campaign manager,
I strongly advise you
to at least let me prepare
a negative ad.
We don't have to run it.
Okay, I hear you,
and the answer is still no.
Thank you.
It's just really frustrating
that you won't let me do my job.
I'm just trying
to protect you.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-[phone ringing, vibrating]
-Oh, yeah.
This is Dani.
Yeah. No,
I-I haven't seen it.
No. No,
that can't be right.
What the fuck? Shit.
Where's the...?
Oh, fuck.
Oh, shit.
It's okay, I'm nervous, too.
I'm not nervous,
I'm just curious.
-Sure you are.
-[door opens]
-Quiara.
-Hi.
Hi. How have you been feeling?
-Good.
-Good.
Excited, for the most part.
-Okay.
-Did you tell her
about the nausea?
Oh, I've been feeling
a little nauseous lately.
Uh, this is my wi--
You can join us.
This is my wife, Shane.
-Hi. How you doing?
-Hi. Nice to have you
with us today.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-[chuckles]
I think I'm your ex-wife,
technically.
The nausea
will subside
once you get
to your second trimester,
but if it doesn't,
let me know.
I'll get you
something for it.
Can you give me something
for all the extra McFlurrys
-I've been eating lately?
-'Fraid not.
Okay. Are you ready to hear
your baby's heartbeat?
[Quiara]
Yes.
Uh, yes. I'm ready.
I'm so ready. We're ready.
You ready?
-You ready?
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Here. Okay.
This might be a little cold.
-[Quiara] Okay.
-First you'll hear
-your own heartbeat.
-[Quiara] This is crazy.
[laughs]
-That's you.

And then there'll be
another sound.

[Barry] We're all anxious
to hear what you have to say.
Well, I just wanted
to catch up and, you know,

been going this season.
Maybe talk about process,

were gonna be in this meeting.
Course.
Wouldn't miss it.
Right. So...
[sighs]
I'm very, very proud
of what the show's done
this season.
We haven't made
any conventional guest choices.
The set is incredible.
The writers are
next-level.
I just, there are a lot
of voices in the room,
and I'm having a hard time
hearing my own.
So I would like
to make some changes,
-maybe next season.
-Well, um,
we're hoping to make
some changes before then,
because, quite frankly,
we don't know if there
will be a next season.
Your show's on
the bubble, Alice.
[quietly]
I-It's...
[Drew]
"The bubble's" a term

-I know what a bubble is.
Thanks.

Quiara and I had a morning.
It's not you.
Okay.

I don't know what I'm doing.
So, did you tell her that?
-Did you talk to her?
-I have nothing new

-[laughs]
I'm sorry.
-Why is that funny?
-Okay, so, um,
in my meeting this morning,
there was
this guy, right, and he says:
imagine someone comes up to you
and says that they're hungry,
and you have a sandwich,
and so you offer them
the sandwich,
but then they say, "Nah.
I've had sandwiches before.
I want something new."
And you're like, "It
doesn't need to be new.
Just eat the sandwich."
What, you want me
to eat a sandwich?
No. You have
to talk to her.
You have to talk to Quiara.
Again and again and again,

she could pose

But she was great.

Oh, it was gorgeous.
The views alone were worth

And getting to see Angie
more often is, um...

and I wanted to tell you
in person first so we could
figure out what, you know,

we should tell Angie?

that you and me

we could all tell
her together.

Oh. [laughs nervously]
S-Sure.
I think that would
be nice for Angie.
Yeah, Angie's gonna be...

out of far worse.
Remember the first year
with Colbert?
Yeah, well, this is
a little different.
Not really.
Do you really not see how
this situation is different
from Colbert's show?
No.
We just gotta give the network
a few more wins,
and they give us
another season.
Drew, I don't know if that's
something I can do.
I've got to say, that's-- that's
pretty frustrating to hear.
Oh, yeah?
Come on, I know you were
talking about me
when you said there are
too many voices in the room.
Of course I was, Drew.
Of course I was
talking about you.
I-I'm trying to build you

Oh, my God, just those words...

into your whole world.

-My grandma better be okay.
She will be.
You know
what's freaking me out?
-Hmm?
-[sighs]
I have so many memories
with her, right?
Like...
when I was seven,
she took me
to Radio City Music Hall.
[chuckles]
And...
that line went down the block.
[laughs]
And it was freezing.
And I remember,
this little old lady,
she just walked right up
to the front of the line
and lifted up that rope
and told me to scoot under.
-Shut up. [laughs]
-Yeah.
Everybody was staring.
I thought for sure
we were gonna get caught.
[both chuckle]
But she just looked at me
and she was like,
"Who cares
what people think?"
Mm.
[sighs]
[exhales]
And the weird thing
is, if she dies,
oh...
I'll be the only one
who knows that story.
You know?
Nobody else was there.
[sniffling]
[exhales]
That's hard.
[chuckles]
Man, me and that old lady,
we still got plans.
She's supposed to take me
to Hawaii before she dies.
-She will.
-[sniffles]
-She fucking better.
-[laughs]
I told her she had to
or I'd kill her myself.
Oh, well, that's nice.
[both chuckle]

-Hey.
Hey, you want
to pray with me?
It might make you

You don't have to do that.

It's you and me.
-That's not scary.

Okay.

Oh, I know all of 'em.

-I know, I know, I know.
-You could've called
or texted me. I'm sitting--
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know.
I know, and I'm sorry.
Please.
Look, today
was really hard.
Why?
I know you're supposed to...
feel something
when you hear your baby's
heartbeat for the first time.
Right?
I didn't feel anything.
And that just scares me, because
I don't want to fuck it up.
Say something, please.
Anything.
That was really good.
Did you-- did you
just hear what I said?
Yes, I did.
Then how am I supposed
to fix this?
There's nothing to fix.
Okay?
You'll feel exactly what
you're supposed to feel
on your own time.
Aren't you scared
just a little bit?
No.
But I'll let you know
if that changes.
Now can we please eat?
Baby and me are starving.
Do you want a McFlurry or...?
I had two today already,
so...
-You had two?
-Yes.
Okay. That's impressive.

How's your grandma?
Oh. Hey. It's just me.
Don't freak out.
Um, where's Soph?
Uh, she's back

I'm just picking up

Um... yeah.
Yeah, sure.

-I need to change.
-Awesome.
I'm covered
in a rare combination
of sweat and bullshit.

Your job's
pretty intense, huh?
Yeah.
But it's almost over.
This part is, anyway.
So what happens to you
if she wins?
I'd hope she'd keep me
on staff if she wins,
but there's no guarantee.
Well, what happens
to you if she loses?
I don't think
about that.
I think you should have been
there for her today.
Excuse me?
She really needed you.
She asked me not to be there.
Repeatedly asked me
not to be there.
-She should have asked.
-She knows
I'm fucking tapped out
right now. I-I'm giving her
-all I've got.
-Yeah, but, dude,
it's her grandma.
-Even I knew to be there.
-Yeah,
you should be there.

You know, you are

I couldn't keep your secret?
Honestly, I thought
you would judge me.
Why would I judge you?

What happened?
My, uh...
Ooh, my grandma fell.
-Oh, my God. Is she okay?
-I'm sorry.
-Are you okay?
-My sister
thinks that she hit her head,
and they're on their way
to the hospital, and my
mom's fucking hysterical.

-Yeah.
Oh, I-I'll come with you.
I'll cancel my morning.
No. It's okay.
You go to work, okay?
-No, I don't have to. I want--
-No, it's fine.
I'll-I'll call you

-Are you sure?
-Yes. I love you. Thank you.
Oh, hi.
-Hello, Dani!
-Oh, Grace! Hi!
How are you?
-Come on in.
-Hi, my baby.
Hi, Mom.
Oh, my goodness.
I miss you so much.
[laughs]
Aw. You lost weight.
[Tina] Oh, my God,
it's beautiful in here.
Dana would have loved
this place.

-I think so, too.
And the place is
picking up business.
Yeah, it's incredible.
-Just so pretty in here.
-Should I take this?
-No.
-Yes, yes. Yes.
[Tina]
Is Alice not coming?
No. She's still
mad at you.
Ooh. For the Felicity thing?
I have apologized
-and apologized and apologized.
-I know. I know.
I know, and I told you
to give her time.
-She'll come around.
-Yeah.
So, how's Quiara?
Quiara's good.
We're gonna hear
the baby's heartbeat today.
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God.
[Bette]
I still remember hearing Angie's
-first little heartbeat.
-Oh, my God, me, too.
It was like this little sign
of this big life to come.
It was so special.
-It was amazing.
-Oh.
-We were... sobbing.
-Sobbing.
-Just bawling.
-I was destroyed.

Oh, and what is
it that you said

-Like horses

-Horses stampeding in mud.

Speaking of our daughter,
I will be over later
to pick her up for the museum.
And then you're gonna
drop her off at Jordi's
'cause they're gonna
watch a movie.
-You know what that means.
-[Tina] Hey.
Don't do that.
Don't freak her out.
-I'm just being honest.
-No, no, no, no. I can't.
I can't hear it. I'm not ready.
I'm not ready to hear it.
-Okay. All right.
-Are you available tonight?
For dinner?
Just us.
Uh...
Sure. Yeah. That would be nice.
I mean, you know,

Let me know if you have
any more questions.
We're gonna be back to prep her

And if you need anything
before that,
the nurse's station
is just outside the door.
Okay. Thank you.
-[door closes]
-I don't like her.
-Should we get a second opinion?
-Okay, no, no, no, no, no.
-We don't have time for that.
-I don't like this place.
Okay? They said it was
a very simple procedure.
They know what they're doing.
-If anything happens to her--
-Oh, my God.
-Hey. Hey!
-If anything, I swear to God.
Stop. Okay?
-Yeah, Mami, stop.

Okay. So that was my buddy.
And he works at a local
CBS affiliate,
and he was-- Why has this line
not fucking moved?
It's fine.
It's fine.
People can hear you.
-Sorry.
-Okay.
So, your-your
friend at CBS?
Right, and he was saying
that Milner's team bought up
a ton of airtime.
They're gearing up
to launch something big.
I'm hearing that it's going to
be a negative attack campaign.
And I know he said he wouldn't,
but he's-he's going for it.
Milner's a lot of things,
but he's not a liar.
He's never been backed
into a corner before.
He's scared.
He's gonna go for blood,
and he's gonna run those ads.
And we're just
gonna drown him out
with policy and voter outreach.
But if he goes for you
with-with only two weeks left,
and we don't have a negative ad
to counter with,
then we're kind of fucked.
Your job is to help me
shape my message
and get it out
into the world.
Thanks, sweetheart.
All right, all right. Thank you.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Two medium coffees,
one with room, one without.
-Please.
-Please.
Coming right up.
As your acting campaign manager,
I strongly advise you
to at least let me prepare
a negative ad.
We don't have to run it.
Okay, I hear you,
and the answer is still no.
Thank you.
It's just really frustrating
that you won't let me do my job.
I'm just trying
to protect you.
-Thank you.

This is Dani.
Yeah. No,

No. No,

It's okay, I'm nervous, too.
I'm not nervous,

-Hi.
Hi. How have you been feeling?
-Good.
-Good.
Excited, for the most part.
-Okay.
-Did you tell her
about the nausea?
Oh, I've been feeling
a little nauseous lately.
Uh, this is my wi--
You can join us.
This is my wife, Shane.
-Hi. How you doing?
-Hi. Nice to have you
with us today.
-Thank you. Thank you.

I think I'm your ex-wife,

The nausea
will subside
once you get

but if it doesn't,

I'll get you

Can you give me something

-'Fraid not.
Okay. Are you ready to hear
your baby's heartbeat?

Yes.
Uh, yes. I'm ready.
I'm so ready. We're ready.
You ready?

The writers are
next-level.
I just, there are a lot
of voices in the room,
and I'm having a hard time
hearing my own.
So I would like
to make some changes,
-maybe next season.
-Well, um,
we're hoping to make
some changes before then,
because, quite frankly,
we don't know if there
will be a next season.
Your show's on

-I have nothing new

I'm sorry.
-Why is that funny?
-Okay, so, um,
in my meeting this morning,
there was
this guy, right, and he says:
imagine someone comes up to you
and says that they're hungry,
and you have a sandwich,
and so you offer them
the sandwich,
but then they say, "Nah.
I've had sandwiches before.
I want something new."
And you're like, "It
doesn't need to be new.
Just eat the sandwich."
What, you want me
to eat a sandwich?
No. You have
to talk to her.

just couldn't believe
how beautifully
she could pose
like that.
He didn't even have
to tell her anything.
She was so nervous
to have her picture taken.
But she was great.

I had two today already,
so...
-You had two?
-Yes.
Okay. That's impressive.
[hangers rattling]
Hey. I didn't know
you were back.
How's your grandma?
Oh. Hey. It's just me.
Don't freak out.
Um, where's Soph?
Uh, she's back
at the hospital.
I'm just picking up
some clothes for her.
You want to come?
Um... yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Just-just give me a second.
-I need to change.
-Awesome.
I'm covered
in a rare combination
of sweat and bullshit.
[chuckles]
Your job's
pretty intense, huh?
Yeah.
But it's almost over.
This part is, anyway.
So what happens to you
if she wins?
I'd hope she'd keep me
on staff if she wins,
but there's no guarantee.
Well, what happens
to you if she loses?
I don't think
about that.
I think you should have been
there for her today.
Excuse me?
She really needed you.
She asked me not to be there.
Repeatedly asked me
not to be there.
-She should have asked.
-She knows
I'm fucking tapped out
right now. I-I'm giving her
-all I've got.
-Yeah, but, dude,
it's her grandma.
-Even I knew to be there.
-Yeah,
you should be there.
Your life is nothing like mine.
Okay.
Our circumstances are different.
Yeah, I'm not her fiancée.

[Nat]
What happened?
Do you want to get in?
Yeah.
No, no. It was--
it was nothing.
[exhales]
-What's going on?
-Alice, what?
You told me you were okay
with this, right?
That you were open...
Yeah, no, right.
Yeah, no, I'm totally open.
You're mad?
No, I'm not mad.
[exhales]
I don't...
I don't think
this is what I meant.
Okay.
Should you two talk alone?
No. No,
we should all talk about it.
Right?
Yeah, no.
You should--
you should stay, Gigi.
Um...
It's your house.
It's fucking your--
it's your wife.
It's your whole fucking life.

-Alice!

What?
They were fucking, Shane.
Can you...?
-Who?
-Oh, God.
And I wasn't there.
What?
Oh, Nat and Gigi?
You know what,
I didn't sign up for this.
I'm sorry,
what did you expect?
-Well, I don't know,
but maybe some sort--
-Hey.
[groans]
No. I c-- No.
This is too much right now.
I'm--
You know, you are
not the only one dealing
with some really hard shit
right now.
I said I was sorry.
I should have told you
about Felicity.
Did you think
I couldn't keep your secret?
Honestly, I thought
you would judge me.
Why would I judge you?
I'm in a throuple.
With two ex-wives.
I mean,
you should be judging me.
I'm not.
I'm not judging you.
You know you can
talk to me.
I feel stupid.
You're not stupid.
You're, you're
very brave.

-You know, this has made me

-Really? Like what?
[Nat] I think it brought
a lot to the surface
that we needed
to sort out,

we've spent
the last few days,
Gigi and I,

-No, that's...
-You know?
Wow, as in, I'm glad
that I was of use to you?
Okay, that's not

Well, what I'm saying, Gigi,
is I don't think that
I'm really needed here.

it's just so...

-No.
I mean, I can't.
It would just...
oh, my God, it would crush her.
And it doesn't even matter.
There's no point,
because it's never
gonna happen again.
So, no, I can't.
I can't.
I shouldn't. Right?
