Younger (2015–…): Season 7, Episode 11 - Make No Mustique - full transcript

♪ MTV ♪

You are not my friend.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

Liza Miller is 42 years old,

and she's been lying shamelessly

about who she is for years.

I've been dreaming of this day

since I was 12 years old.

Oh, my God. Am I basic?

You are a remarkable
woman, Liza Miller.



I'm sorry I didn't
see it sooner.

Hey, what's up?

I'm giving Kelsey some
of my old pots and pans

for her new place.

Kelsey doesn't cook.

Well, she does smoke weed,

so anything can happen.

You're in a good mood today.

Ah, well, it's been a good week.



Charles came to Inkubator.

He said it reminded him

of why he got into publishing,

discovering new literary voices.

Stop with that book nerd talk.

You're turning me on.

Well, I kind of did turn him on.

We had a moment last
night after dinner.

- Oh, wait a minute.
- There was a dinner?

And there was wine, and
there was... lingering

when we said good night.

Ooh. Lingering like with an I?

We almost kissed,

but then we both pulled back.

Wait, why were you
having dinner with him

alone in the first place?

Because Kelsey couldn't make it.

No. No, no, no.

You were thinking
with your pussy.

No.

Yes, I am attracted to him,

but I can't help it.

But we had our chance,
and he's with Quinn now,

and the best thing for
us is just move on.

- Don't tell it to me.
- Tell it to the boss.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

You shouldn't have
to move out, Kels.

There's got to be a way
that you could just patch

things up with Clare.

Well, I'm with her ex,

so I kind of think
that's a deal breaker.

Yeah.

Besides, it's for the best.

It's time I get my own place.

Where is this new place, anyway?

Rob is letting me use
the model apartment

in his building until I
find something permanent.

- That's pretty cool.
- I guess things

are going pretty
good between you two?

It's going. It's early.

- Yeah.
- You know how it goes.

I'm trying not

to put any pressure on him.

- All right.
- [knock at door]

Hey, babe.

Good morning. How can I help?

I blew off my workout
so I'd be full strength

to carry stuff.

This is a nice place, Josh.

Thanks, Rob.

I forgot the packing
tape in my bedroom.

I will go with you.

Later. Can you help Josh?

Hey, let me ask you
a question, Rob.

- Yeah, shoot.
- You...

You broke up with
Clare pretty easily.

You're planning on being
a little more careful

with Kels, yeah?

It's not really a question.

It's not, really.

I'm pretty sure Kels
can handle herself.

Yeah, just hope

you're planning on being
a little more careful.

Hey!

More packing, less
yakking, you two.

- Yes, ma'am.
- You got it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

About last night,

I'm sorry if things
got too familiar.

No, no, it's all...

We're good.

I can't stop thinking about...

Inkubator.

You really... you have created
something so, so special.

Well, that's just
the terrestrial.

We also have a
podcast and an app.

I would love to get
the full picture.

Any chance that you and Kelsey

could put together a
brief presentation for me?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You may want to leave
before you come in.

What? Why?

Someone here is looking for you.

I doubt you're gonna
wanna see them.

Please say it's not
the fire marshal.

No, no, just...

Liza.

Pauline?

Congratulations on
your big success

with this incredible salon.

I read all about
you on BuzzFeed.

Thank you.

Look, I know we ended things

on a terrible note,

and I want to apologize.

I feel awful about what
happened between us.

I was in a crazy place, and
I'd like to make amends.

I read that you have a tradition

of doing shots here?

We do. Awesome.

Wow, that's a really good one.

Crack it open, please.

I'm going to go up with
this behind the bar.

It's just an olive
branch, the first of many.

Finally found a lot
that wasn't full,

or I parked on a playground.

Liza, this is Tim. We're...

Well, I think we're
going steady, aren't we?

Tim and I reconnected
at a Princeton event,

and we haven't been apart since.

She makes me feel 19 again.

Hey, 19?

Yes.

It was great meeting you, Liza.

- Liza, right?
- Right.

I'm going to go loiter
around one of those tables,

see if I can get us one.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[upbeat music playing]

He seems nice.

He's so nice,

and he's a total do-gooder,
an immigration lawyer.

That's great.

Well, enjoy your evening.

Liza,

I'm gonna keep trying
until I make things right.

I know it will
take a lot of time.

Okay.

"Monogamy is the
ultimate business move.

"Consumers want fewer choices

"presented to them by
tastemakers who matter.

"Inkubator will curate content

"and drop it in
strategic dollops

through its invite-only
subscription service."

It's a little wordy,
but it's for Charles,

and he loves words.

[laughs] [phone buzzing]

- Hello.
- Hi.

Look, my phone ran out of
gas, so I'm using Bianca's.

There's something important

that I wanted to
talk to you about.

Can you meet me for
a drink tonight?

Uh, tonight?

It's important, Liza.

Really important.

Uh...

[intriguing music]

Liza, I'm telling you,

it was a mistake when
you and Charles split up.

When he looks at you,

I can see it in his eyes.

He's still in love with you.

Is that why you wanted to meet?

I feel like I'm
part of the reason

you two aren't together.

Pauline, it wasn't you.

Come on, I was a big problem.

Liza, you two are meant to be,

and true love is
supposed to win.

Now that I found mine,

I want to pay it forward.

You are a great writer,
and that is a great story,

but you cannot tell someone
else's story for them.

Charles is with Quinn.

Well, I can tell you

what's happening
with that story,

and it needs a rewrite.

When I was at the
townhouse earlier,

picking up the girls, I...
saw an engagement ring.

I think Charles is
gonna propose to Quinn,

which would be a huge mistake.

Liza, the clock is ticking.

He's not really in
love with Quinn.

He's in love with you.

Let me help you
make things right.

That is a lovely thought,
but I have to go now.

It's so nice to
see you so happy.

[ambient music]

Liza...

[sighs]

[electronic dance music]

Rob, you are such a doll
for letting me throw

this housewarming
party for Kelsey.

I hope no one is bringing gifts.

What? Of course they are.

I'm only staying
here temporarily.

You are staying here
as long as you want,

oh, and throw as many
parties as you like.

- [inhales deeply]
- More people that come

through the model
apartment, the better.

You have no idea
what you just did.

- All right, you all, a toast.
- To Kelsey.

I know you're just
moving around the corner,

but I'm gonna...

I'm gonna really
miss being roommates.

I'm gonna miss fighting
over the bathroom,

mostly just whose turn
it is to clean it up.

- But...
- Yours.

- Okay.

- For real, I'm just...
- I'm so happy for you.

Hey.

Wait, you started without us?

- I brought the baked ziti.
- Where's the oven?

Oh, there, but I don't
think it's hooked up.

No, but the high tech toilet is,

and the warm rinse is divine.

Stop in for a squirt, ladies.

Ooh, that's probably my turn.

Thank you.

Hi.
