- Match point!
- Ah, nice shot.
What? Ah!
- Ha-ha!
- All right.
Your forehand may not be pretty,
but it's super strong.
- Yeah, well, thank you
for that backhanded compliment.
See, that was a...
That was a tennis joke.
So, um...
Okay, so you graduated
from college,
and then you did the whole...
"Backpacking through Thailand"
thing.
- Yeah, it was incredible
to immerse myself
in such an ancient culture.
- Oh, you mean, like,
visiting the Grand Palace
and going to all those
Buddhist temples?
- Oh, I don't know about that.
I mostly just did shrooms
on the beach.
- Cool. So, uh...
what's your plan for the future?
- Oh, you mean, like,
career goals?
- Yeah.
- Figure that out
when I figure that out.
Or not.
I don't really worry
about that sort of stuff.
Do you?
- Pretty much all the time.
- You should stop
worrying so much.
Enjoy life,
take each day as it comes,
go with the flow, Zo.
- Are you for real?
- What do you mean?

I think I need a little
of what you've got.
- Okay, we're gonna
have to split it, though,
'cause this is my last one.
That's not what I...
Sure.
- What's with the leisurewear?
It's not casual Friday
or giving up on the world
Wednesday.
- Well, I am taking
a personal day,
which is what I wanted
to talk to you about.
Wow.
I love the flowers, by the way.
- I am refreshing my décor.
I treat my apartment
like a Starbucks.
I decorate every season,
and I kick men out
when they've stayed too long.
- Okay, I get the hint.
I have to take off anyway.
- Hey, Max.
How's the restaurant going?
You slackers franchise yet?
- Well, we're waiting
to hear back
on potential financing.
Yesterday, we met with
a couple investors Mo knows.
- They're my A-gays,
which just means that
they're rich, powerful, gay men.
- I wish we would
find out already.
It would be so great to have
some good news
to rub in my father's face
when he arrives.
- Sounds like you're really
looking forward to his visit.
- Oh, yeah.
Can't wait for him to tell me
everything I'm doing wrong
with my life,
and how I should've just gone
to dental school
and joined the family practice.
- Hmm, there's still time.
- Hey, will you actually
come to breakfast tomorrow?
My dad loves you,
and I could use the buffer.
- I'll be there.
- Okay.
- But only because your father
gives me the good floss.
You're probably wondering
why I took today off work.
- No, not really.
- It is because I have decided
to become a rebel, Mo.
- Ah.
The classic rebel phase
at age 29.
Where is all this coming from?
- I was hanging out
with this kid Aiden,
who I knew when I was younger,
and he just lives his life,
consequences be damned,
which is exactly what I need
to be doing more of.
I already told Aiden
I'm ditching work.
I also made a list
of rebellious things
for us to do.
- Oh, because nothing
screams "rebel"
more than a thorough to-do list.
- Yeah.
- This is Simon.
- Hey.
It's your favorite reporter.
- Oh, Lester Holt?
You sound weird, my guy.
So are the rumors true?
I'm hearing your rich,
above-the-law CEO
somehow wormed his way
out of house arrest
on a technicality.
- Are we really surprised?
Yeah, but honestly, no,
I haven't heard
anything about that.

Danny Michael Davis!
An American Musical."
Hello, everyone.
I'm relieved to tell you
that after some
complicated legal maneuvering
and a rather intense golf game
with several high court judges,
the charges were dropped,
and I am completely exonerated.
Starting now, I'm gonna be
spending much more time
right here in the San Francisco
office going forward.
Follow me.
Get close. Get closer.
Little closer.
That's too cl...
That's too close.
You're too close. That's...
Also, that's too far now.
That's perfect.
Remember,
we are the music makers.
And we are the dreamers
of dreams.
My man, let's rap.
- What was that?
- I think it was
from "Willy Wonka."
- Welcome back.
- Ah, thanks.
You have no idea
what it was like.
In regular prison,
you just want to go home.
- Mm-hmm.
- But when your home
is a prison...
- Mm-hmm.
- You know,
where do you go then?
- The infinity pool.
- No, you can't.
Not with an ankle bracelet.
- Yeah.
- Now I know
how Nelson Mandela felt.
Anyway, R&D is reporting
that there's a problem
with the Chirp.
We're beta testing it
in several markets,
and it's having trouble
with facial recognition.
Specifically, its error rate
with people of color
is ten times higher
than with white users.
- So wait, it can't see
people of color?
- It can,
just very, very poorly.
- Uh-huh.
- Obviously,
this is potentially damaging
if not handled delicately.
Thankfully, we've got
the greatest guy in the world
to get out in front of this
with the media.
- Okay, yeah.
You want me to get out and...
- Yes.
I need you please
to call a press conference,
let everyone know this was
just an innocent mistake,
and we're already taking steps
to remedy it.
- Yeah.
- Yes. All right. Hug it out.
- Ah...
- Ah, come on.
Yeah. That's the stuff.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- Item one.
Go strawberry picking
without sunscreen.
Item two, head to the wharf.
Snag a couple bread bowls,
then eat the bread first.
- This is what you want to do
on your wild day off?
- Yeah, I thought
they sounded fun.
And a little dangerous?
- I have a better idea.
♪ ♪
- Drugs.
Is that drugs?
You wanna do drugs?
- You don't have to whisper.
There are no cops here.
Unless you're a cop,
in which case
you are legally required
to tell me.
- Nope.
I am not a cop.
I am also
not a drug person, per se,
or at all.
And we're comfortable with, um,
who sold you those drugs, right?
They're, um, they're a
reputable drug dealer.
- Yes.
- And the drugs themselves,
they are...
not laced with angel dust?
Or are they angel dust?
While we're at it,
what is angel dust?
- Look, we really
don't have to do this.
It's only meant to be fun.
- Okay.
Ah. No.
Let's.
I should do this.
Okay, I have nothing big
planned today.
I need to live my life
as rebellious as possible.
What is the worst
that could happen?
♪ ♪
Mm! Mm-mm.
No way.
The head of all of Sprqpoint
is calling me right now.
Of course this is happening.
Should I answer?
He's gonna know.
I'm gonna be fired.
- You took it nine seconds ago.
- Hello, Mr. Michael Davis.
- Zoey, I'm afraid
we've got a bit of a...
A situation brewing.
Come to the 12th floor ASAP.
- Okay, I took a personal day,
and aren't you still
under house arrest?
- Not anymore. Can you come in?
We shouldn't have this
conversation over the phone.
I don't trust
these things anymore.
- Phones? We make phones.
- Ironic, isn't it?
The FBI hacked mine,
which is how
I ended up in the big house.
Which is what I call my house.
- I'm busy for the next...
Couple hours?
- Eight hours.
- Eight?
- Fine. I will come to you.
Where are you at?
Nope, never mind.
I just pinged your location
on your phone.
You see?
These things are dangerous.
- Oh, my God.
Uh, my boss is coming here.
I hope I'm not high as...
- Ay-yi-yi.
I cannot be high
when Danny Michael Davis
gets here.
Is there any way to, um,
make it so the drugs
don't kick in?
- Okay, this is not the energy
we want going into our trip.
- Are we about to start
tripping right now?
- Oh, yeah.
- Hi, Simon.
Are you fine like I'm fine?
- I'm not sure. Uh.
I just talked
to Danny Michael Davis,
and he is back with a vengeance.
I was...
It was uncomfortable.
- Right, yeah,
he wanted to talk to me too.
What's going on?
- Well, the Chirp
is having a hard time
recognizing people of color.
And...
I know that you're off today,
but since you are
my direct supervisor,
I thought I'd talk to you.
- I am glad you did.
And, ah, sounds like
a coding error,
so I will email the team
and have them figure it out.
I am so sorry,
but we are on it.
- I appreciate that.
Although that's actually not
the only reason I called.
My whole conversation...
- All relevant code
immediately, and sent.
I'll let you know
when it's handled.
- Thanks, um...
- I'm so sorry, Simon,
but I gotta run.
Okay.
Now, if Danny Michael Davis
just shows up
before the drugs
start kicking in,
I will handle that
equally as well.
Equally. E-qually.
Equally. That's a weird word.
E-qual-y.
Equal-y.
- Uh-oh.
- Sure you want to stay
at the hotel, Dad?
I could take the couch,
and you could have my bed.
- Well, the convention stuff's
right there at the hotel.
I'll just stay there.
- Okay, whatever you want.
I'm just glad you were able
to make the trip.
- One of the perks of working
with your family.
Your brother and sister
can cover for me.
- Uh-huh.
- You know, we could use
a good IT guy.
The whole industry's
going digital.
- Dad, could we please not
do this whole
"me moving back home again"
thing?
You just got here.
- I'm just concerned.
We're opening two new offices
back east
while you're out here
on your own,
starting some kind of restaurant
that doesn't even make food.
- It's actually a pretty
ground-breaking idea,
and we're about to secure
some major financing, so...
Oh!
This is probably about that.
Mo, talk to me.
- Hey.
- That's my business partner.
- So I just spoke
to the investors.
They're out.
They were really hung up
on the "not making food" part.
- Okay, yeah, whatever.
We'll make someone else rich.
Especially when that article
on me in "Wired" comes out.
- Mm, about that.
I got a message from Tatiana,
and her editors
nixed the article.
They also didn't get...
- Okay, gotta go.
Talk to you soon.
Oh, look, Dad. Alcatraz.
That's neat, right?
- And over here will be
the rabbit topiary,
which will add
that little sense of whimsy
that we talked about.
- I don't remember a rabbit.
- I showed you the drawing.
- This is all reading
a bit Disneyland.
- Okay, well,
we can certainly add something
more traditional here
if you like,
but I think you'll be pleased
with how the wall's
coming along.
- This wall?
This is not what we discussed.
And quite honestly,
I was expecting more.
- We all know
what you were expecting.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Jenna...
- I have to take this.
I'll talk to you later.
Yeah, go ahead.
- Unbelievable.
- What?
- Oh, Romeo there is just mad
'cause you dissed him
when he asked you out.
You should tell him
to go to hell.
I don't know about that.
The landscape design community
is very small.
I can't just tell people
to go to hell.
But thanks for your support.
- No one messes
with my girl Maggie.

a bodyguard before.
I think I like it.

- Maybe he's not coming.
I feel like it's been hours.
Or 20 minutes?
Wow, how can 20 minutes
feel like an hour?
- Hello?
Uh, I... I know you're in there.
I activated the camera
on your Sprqpoint phone,
and I see you. - My God.
That seems like something
he should not be able to do.
- Don't worry.
Take this pillow for protection.
- Hello, sir.
I've been made aware
of the issues
with the Chirp, and there is
a fix on the way.
No worries, we're good.
Sayonara.
- Wai...
Who told you about the Chirp?
Simon? Did he use a phone?
Please tell me it wasn't
one of ours.
- Oh, nope, it was
under an encrypted message,
which self-destructed,
so totally safe.
- What are you doing?
- I'm feeling corduroy
for, like, my first time ever.
Like, really feeling it.
Corduroy.
- What is wrong with you two?
- You're on drugs, aren't you?
- No. No, we're not.
- You don't think I know?
All right.
You're talking
to one of the cofounders
of Burning Man,
one of the elders
of the Smurf Camp.
- Okay, fine, we're on drugs.

Uh, how far is this place?
- You know what?

- I just remembered.
My mom has popsicles.
- Okay, I'm starting to panic.
We pitched seven different
investors already, and...
What if we go back
to the A-gays,
I show a little thigh...
- Oh, that ship has sailed,
honey.
But it's so cute that
you think you're their type.
Oh. Hi, Simon.
Oh, if you're calling 'cause
you have an extra hundred grand
just laying around,
that'd be perfect timing.
- Ha, ha. No.
Um, I actually wanted to see
if you wanted
to get dinner tomorrow night.
Wanted to talk
about a work thing.
- Of course,
although I know very little
about the tech industry,
other than
you can't actually drink
at the Genius Bar,
even if you bring your own.
- It's not about tech things.
I was actually gonna
invite Tatiana as well.
- Oh, I love her.
She reminds me of Olivia Pope.
Okay, I'll host. - Thank you.
Appreciate it.
- Okay, where were we?
- Screwed.
I don't know what to do.
I mean,
we've already put so much
of our own money into this,
and we don't have a lot left.
- Well, I have an idea,
but you're not gonna like it.
- Go for it.
- What if we ask your dad
to invest?
- Yes. I do not like that.
- Come on, he owns
a very successful dental
franchise on Long Island.
I've seen his Instagram.
He has a boat.
What's it called again?
- The "Tooth Ferry."
Of course, spelled F-E-R-R...
- I got it.
You know, I'm not mad at it.
But we need cash,
and we need cash fast.
We signed a lease,
and we have contractors
and suppliers to pay.
- Okay, we could try,
but what if he says no?
I mean, don't I already have
enough issues with him
without this rejection?
- And what if he loves it?
I mean, we could really wow him
at breakfast tomorrow.
- All right,
we'll give it a shot.
At least Zoey'll be there,
so he'll be in a good mood.
He always says
she's a ray of sunshine.
- We're just specks of dust
on a rock
hurtling through cold,
dark, empty vastness.
- Comedown's a little harsh,
huh?
- Wonder how long
I could live on these.
- We have plenty
if you want more.
These were one of the few things
my dad could eat,
so my mom always made sure
we had a freezer full of them.
My mom's the best.
She didn't deserve what
she went through last year.
- What happened?
- My dad had
a rare neurological disease.
Then he died.
A few months ago,
after a year of my mother
basically dedicating her life
to helping him fight it.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- She cared so much
about my dad.
We all did.
And none of that
changed anything.
All it led to
was a bunch of people
being devastated.
That's the price of caring.
- Caring is exhausting.
- And I'm not saying
it's the same
as your thing, but...
I've been burned by it too.
- Who hurt you?
She's dead to me.
- I'm talking about Sprqpoint.
It's all I've ever cared about.
And what did it get me?
Endless pressure to innovate,
a... a board I have to answer to
24 hours a day,
and an ankle
completely stripped of hair.
- Can I touch it?
- Of course you can touch it.
It's like a dolphin.
This isn't the life I imagined.
You just get so far
down the rabbit hole,
you just... you forget why
you even wanted to do it
in the first place.
Or if there's a point
to any of it.
- There isn't.
My dad was the most full
of life person I've ever met.
And if the universe can just...
Just take that away,
well, lesson learned.
You hear that?
"Universe"?
I'm done caring.
And I don't care
what you think about it.
- Okay.
According to this, we could live
for about a month on popsicles.
Who's in?
- The app is
completely flawless.
- And my algorithm times out
the different delivery services
so that the meals arrive
simultaneously.
- Say if Zoey
wants breakfast from Ella's.
- And you want the morning cake
from Outerlands.
- At Maximo's,
you don't have to agree.
- Everyone gets to eat
at the separate places
they want...
Together.
- Maximo?
- Yeah, it's a combination
of both of our names.
- No, no, no, no, I got that.
I'm just, um...
How exactly do you make
real money off this?
- Well, uh, actually,
a lot of our money
will come mostly
from drink sales.
- We have
a phenomenal cocktail menu.

- So I guess it's a no,
then, Dad?
- Let me mull it over a bit.
Maybe.
I gotta scram.
Doing a panel on gum disease,
and if I don't get there early,
I get swamped at the door.
Oh, hey, Zoey.
I got you the good stuff.
Ooh, double wax?
- Thanks, Allan.
- Well, that wasn't the exact
warm reception I expected,
but hey,
at least he's considering
giving us the money.
- I just wish everything didn't
have to be so hard with him.
- Maybe it doesn't have to be.
Maybe if you didn't
care so much,
it wouldn't hurt so much.
It's a philosophy.
It's my... it's my new philosophy
that I'm trying.
- That's actually surprising
coming from you.
- What? What does that mean?
- Well, you cared more
about your relationship
with your father than anyone,
and now you expect me
not to care about mine?
I mean, you know
how much I tried
to get his approval
over the years.
- Which is why
if you cared less,
it would hurt less.
- Um...
maybe you should stick
to your old philosophy.
The fact that you care so much
is one of the things
I love most about you.

Yeah, I... I wouldn't know
anything about that.
Or about the cactus
planted in the driver's seat.
- What is wrong with you?
That is so childish.
- No. No, it's artistic.
The cactus represents
how he hurts those
who come in contact with him.
And it looks like
a middle finger.
- He said that
if I don't fire you,
he's gonna fire me.
- What did you say?
I told him his behavior
was inappropriate

and that I didn't want
to work with him anymore.
- Aw, you chose me over him.
I can't tell you how much...
- No, no, no, no.
I am also firing you.

- That is not
how you protect someone.
I can't believe you don't see
how serious this is.
I should not
have to explain this to you!
- You are just like
every other boss I've ever had.
- Well, did you ever think that
maybe you're the problem?
- And did you ever think
the reason other people
need to come to your defense
is because you're
not strong enough

have you all
weigh in on something.
But I'm telling you this
in confidence, okay?
- My phone's in my purse,
I've got my merlot, I'm good.
- All right.
- What's going on?
- Sprqpoint's new tech
isn't recognizing
Black and brown folks,
and my CEO wants to use me
to smooth it all over.
- Shocking that a corporation
with not a single
person of color on its board
would use a Black person
as their shield.
- That is what they do.
I went to a summer camp
for one afternoon
when I was nine,
and I'm still on the brochure.
Exactly.
See, they want me
to defend a company
that can't even recognize
its non-white users.
- And this stuff
has consequences.
I did a whole piece
on Black people
being falsely arrested
because AI
misidentifies us
at a much higher rate.
- Did you even know that
there's only two
people of color
in managerial positions
in all of Sprqpoint globally?
No, one.
Because Ava Price left
when Joan got promoted over her.
So what do I do?
I have to speak about this
publicly tomorrow.
- You quit.
- Mo, it's not...
- Do you really... oh.
So you wanna sit there
and be their mouthpiece
to protect them
from their mistake.
- What does quitting solve,
though?
You just got a huge promotion.
You have a seat at the table.
In a few years, you could
have real power there.
- In a few years.
So in the meantime,
he's supposed to sit there
and be their puppet.
How does that solve anything?
- I am just saying
he should bide his time.
Work your way up,
maybe even get a seat
on that board, too, one day.
Then you can effect real change.

Sometimes I worry
I get gummed up in the details.

given our current projections,
you should see a profit

go well, I can take the hit.

It has been brought
to our attention
that our new
groundbreaking tech, the Chirp,
has a glitch that may
disproportionately affect
its ability to recognize
people of color.
This coding error
has been identified,
and a fix is underway.
But what has not
been fixed is...
Is the environment that led to
this embarrassing oversight.
See, the Chirp couldn't see
Black and brown faces
because there are
no Black and brown people
in positions of power
at the company.
Our leadership is comprised,
overwhelmingly, of white men.
And on a board of ten directors,
there are only two women,
and zero people of color.
And if we don't start talking
about this now,
nothing is ever going to change.
- Ah, nice shot.
What? Ah!
- Ha-ha!

- It's not about tech things.
I was actually gonna
invite Tatiana as well.
- Oh, I love her.
She reminds me of Olivia Pope.
Okay, I'll host. - Thank you.
Appreciate it.
- Okay, where were we?
- Screwed.
I don't know what to do.
I mean,
we've already put so much
of our own money into this,
and we don't have a lot left.
- Well, I have an idea,
but you're not gonna like it.
- Go for it.
- What if we ask your dad
to invest?
- Yes. I do not like that.
- Come on, he owns
a very successful dental
franchise on Long Island.
I've seen his Instagram.
He has a boat.
What's it called again?
- The "Tooth Ferry."
Of course, spelled F-E-R-R...
- I got it.
You know, I'm not mad at it.
But we need cash,
and we need cash fast.
We signed a lease,
and we have contractors
and suppliers to pay.
- Okay, we could try,
but what if he says no?
I mean, don't I already have
enough issues with him
without this rejection?
- And what if he loves it?
I mean, we could really wow him
at breakfast tomorrow.
- All right,
we'll give it a shot.
At least Zoey'll be there,
so he'll be in a good mood.
He always says
she's a ray of sunshine.
- We're just specks of dust
on a rock
hurtling through cold,
dark, empty vastness.
- Comedown's a little harsh,
huh?
- Wonder how long
I could live on these.
- We have plenty
if you want more.
These were one of the few things
my dad could eat,
so my mom always made sure
we had a freezer full of them.
My mom's the best.
She didn't deserve what
she went through last year.
- What happened?
- My dad had
a rare neurological disease.
Then he died.
A few months ago,
after a year of my mother
basically dedicating her life
to helping him fight it.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- She cared so much
about my dad.
We all did.
And none of that
changed anything.
All it led to
was a bunch of people
being devastated.
That's the price of caring.
- Caring is exhausting.
- And I'm not saying
it's the same
as your thing, but...
I've been burned by it too.
- Who hurt you?
She's dead to me.
- I'm talking about Sprqpoint.
It's all I've ever cared about.
And what did it get me?
Endless pressure to innovate,
a... a board I have to answer to
24 hours a day,
and an ankle
completely stripped of hair.
- Can I touch it?
- Of course you can touch it.
It's like a dolphin.
This isn't the life I imagined.
You just get so far
down the rabbit hole,
you just... you forget why
you even wanted to do it
in the first place.
Or if there's a point
to any of it.
- There isn't.
My dad was the most full
of life person I've ever met.
And if the universe can just...
Just take that away,
well, lesson learned.
You hear that?
"Universe"?
I'm done caring.
And I don't care
what you think about it.

According to this, we could live

- Everyone gets to eat

- Maximo?
- Yeah, it's a combination

- No, no, no, no, I got that.
I'm just, um...

real money off this?

from drink sales.

- Maybe it doesn't have to be.
Maybe if you didn't
care so much,
it wouldn't hurt so much.
It's a philosophy.
It's my... it's my new philosophy
that I'm trying.
- That's actually surprising
coming from you.
- What? What does that mean?
- Well, you cared more
about your relationship
with your father than anyone,
and now you expect me
not to care about mine?
I mean, you know
how much I tried
to get his approval
over the years.
- Which is why
if you cared less,
it would hurt less.
- Um...
maybe you should stick
to your old philosophy.
The fact that you care so much

I love most about you.

I've got my merlot, I'm good.
- All right.
- What's going on?
- Sprqpoint's new tech
isn't recognizing
Black and brown folks,
and my CEO wants to use me
to smooth it all over.
- Shocking that a corporation
with not a single
person of color on its board
would use a Black person
as their shield.
- That is what they do.
I went to a summer camp
for one afternoon
when I was nine,
and I'm still on the brochure.
Exactly.
See, they want me
to defend a company
that can't even recognize
its non-white users.
- And this stuff
has consequences.
I did a whole piece
on Black people
being falsely arrested
because AI
misidentifies us
at a much higher rate.
- Did you even know that
there's only two
people of color
in managerial positions
in all of Sprqpoint globally?
No, one.
Because Ava Price left
when Joan got promoted over her.
So what do I do?
I have to speak about this
publicly tomorrow.
- You quit.
- Mo, it's not...
- Do you really... oh.
So you wanna sit there
and be their mouthpiece
to protect them
from their mistake.
- What does quitting solve,
though?
You just got a huge promotion.
You have a seat at the table.
In a few years, you could
have real power there.
- In a few years.
So in the meantime,
he's supposed to sit there
and be their puppet.
How does that solve anything?

he should bide his time.
Work your way up,
maybe even get a seat
on that board, too, one day.
Then you can effect real change.

It has been brought
to our attention
that our new
groundbreaking tech, the Chirp,
has a glitch that may
disproportionately affect
its ability to recognize
people of color.
This coding error
has been identified,
and a fix is underway.
But what has not
been fixed is...
Is the environment that led to
this embarrassing oversight.
See, the Chirp couldn't see
Black and brown faces
because there are
no Black and brown people
in positions of power
at the company.
Our leadership is comprised,
overwhelmingly, of white men.
And on a board of ten directors,
there are only two women,
and zero people of color.
And if we don't start talking
about this now,
nothing is ever going to change.
