Earle Meets World (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

-[serene music playing]
-[birds singing]
-[TJ] Oh shit.
-[music distorts, fades]
[smoke alarm beeping]
Shit.
We gotta let it air out.
Thomas, where's that coming from?
Beep, beep, beep!
[continues beeping]
[Sally] Holy shit.
This damn alarm needs to shut off.
[yawns]
I seriously have never felt
like this in my entire life.
-I don't know if it's the altitude.
-Oh.
I feel like I didn't drink that much.
I'm so confused what happened to me.
-[electronic dance music playing]
-Mm…
[music continues over speakers]
I think I just drank
a whole bottle of tequila.
[Julia] I'm gonna throw up. Mark my words.
-[laughs] I'm swollen.
-What?
[Alix] I don't even remember anything.
I lost my purse!
[electronic dance music
playing over speakers]
Yeah!
[music fades]
And I'm gonna say, whoever let me text
Braxton at 4:00 a.m. will rue the day.
-I mean, that was not me.
-It was-- It was someone…
-I remember someone sitting with me.
-It was me.
-Was it?
-Mm-hm. I said, uh, "Do you--"
Are you serious?
I said, "Are You sure
you want to be texting him at 4:00 a.m.?"
And you said, "Uh-huh."
It was a moment of weakness for me.
-[laughs]

Winning, no kidding
Ms. Independent livin' it… ♪
[Alix] Travel with me
and my friends to Aspen.
It's Palm Tree Music Festival weekend.
It's also my friend Josie's birthday.
I've gone to this festival
the past few years,
and now my family
is tagging along with us.
We go out with Dad and Ashley
a good amount.
There's no boundaries.
We like a good time.
Ashtin and I are never single
at the same time.
I'm hoping that this trip is gonna be
fun for me with my friends and my family.
I don't have to think about the breakup.
And even though there's a high possibility
that Braxton will be in Aspen too,
I think it's gonna be such a fun weekend,
and I can't wait for it.
Oh my gosh, let's go out!
Giving hot, giving cool, giving chic ♪
It's livin' it up! ♪
It's giving fly
Giving new, giving hot ♪
-Giving, giving cool ♪
-[song fades]
[lively music playing]
I'm excited… ♪
[Alix] Dad, you look so cool.
-[Ashtin] You've got rizz.
-[Ashley] What does "rizz" mean?
-Rizz is like charisma.
-Charisma.
You, like, get all the girls to love you.
Ah-- Well, I think you have rizz.
Thomas, if you're at the club
and you're gonna rizz up a girl,
what do you do?
[women laughing]
-Yeah.
-Let me see. I would be…
[laughing]
-I would be convinced.
-[laughs]
[woman] Do you guys think Thomas has rizz
when he dances?
-Not at all.
-No. No rizz.
He doesn't pull anyone with those moves.
Like, respectfully.
Thomas, you're like an 80-year-old man
trapped in an 8-year-old
boy's little body.
-You are like little Benjamin Button.
-You are.
Thomas is like, "I'm surrounded
by all of these sisters and a mom,
and I am just--
I know how to do all the moves."
Don't leave me alone
down here with all these girls.
Thomas, shut up.
[Alix] Thomas, how many dinosaurs
did you bring here?
-[Thomas] Um, 16.
-[Ashtin] Sixteen?
-[Alix] Sixteen?
-[Thomas] 16 or 17. Six-seven!
How do you fit that all in a suitcase?
-[Thomas] Why?
-I don't know.
[Thomas sings indistinctly]
-Thomas, be quiet.
-Shh.
Thomas, I have a headache.
[upbeat pop music playing]
Living in the time of our lives ♪
This could go a little too right… ♪
I'm kind of scared.
-[man 1] Hi.
-[Alix] Hi.
You doing some snowmobiling today?
-Guess so.
-[Ashtin] Very excited. Great.
[music fades]
-Do I look ugly?
-No, you look so pretty.
You're such a liar.
You do, you look so pretty.
I wish I looked like that.
"You look so pretty."
[snorts]
You have boogers.
-It's Vaseline.
-[laughs]
[Alix] I'm gonna take this one
and go first, I think.
-Okay.
-Oh.
I'm excited.
Me too. I wish Mom were here.
Yeah, I feel like…
I feel bad.
Because she kind of wanted to come.
But also, like, Dad and Ashley deserve
to do things with, like, a family,
without them.
I also feel bad, too, after
all the comments that were made at dinner.
Like, Dad said she'd be a hot piece of ass
for the Golden Bachelor.
-[both laugh]
-[laid-back pop music playing]
-That's also, like, calling her old.
-[Ashtin] I know.
When we were talking about it with her,
I was like, that's kind of fucked up.
Poor Todd too.
-I mean, it is kind of rude.
-[Ashtin] It is.
My mom and Todd were
maybe gonna come on this trip with us,
but I feel like there's also times
where we need to learn to, like,
have our boundaries and our separation.
And I think my dad just wants, like…
He doesn't want them
staying in the same house,
which I think is fair.
There's also some, like, tension going on
right now between my dad and Todd.
We're closer than ever,
but that doesn't mean that we're perfect.
And, I mean, if we were perfect,
my mom and Todd
would probably be here too.
I just don't know why,
like, they say things like that.
Sometimes I'm just like…
-Just… shh.
-[Ashtin] I know.
[both laugh]
Come on over here to the snowmobile.
I'll give a lesson for everybody. Come on.
-[Alix] Okay.
-All right, guys.
Uh, gas, accelerator,
all automatic, right there at your thumb.
Reminder, if you're driving,
don't take pictures or videos.
-You need both hands for the controls.
-[Ashley] Let's go, bitches.
-[upbeat pop music playing]
-Let's go, tick-tock, everybody look ♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
One drop, non-stop, look after her ♪
She's getting attention all around ♪
[Ashtin] You taking pictures?
-[Penelope] Why?
-[Ashtin] You don't wanna take pictures?
Wrapping a Benz, running, stacking♪
-La, la, la, la, oh, oh, oh… ♪
-[Alix yells]
-Tackle her!
-[Ashtin] Penelope!

It's not funny anymore! [laughs]
Oh, oh, oh

[music fades]
-I said, "We're getting our BBL exercise."
-[Alix] This is our BBL exercise.
[man 2] Welcome to the Klondike Cabin.
-We got Chef André here, cooking for us.
-Hello!
-[atmospheric pop music playing]
-[Alix whoops]
[Ashley] Yes!
Oh my God,
I'm gonna hit my head on this thing.
[Thomas] Braxton's been
ignoring my text messages.
-[music fades]
-[gasps]
-Braxton's been ignoring your messages?
-I said "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year."
-[Alix] And he hasn't answered you?
-He hasn't seen it.
-Aw…
-How hasn't he seen it?
-I'm gonna cry.
-Wait, that's really mean!
[Ashley] That's really sad.
[TJ] Thomas, that's unforgivable.
Listen, you can hate all of us,
but you can't hate Thomas.
You don't have to answer me,
but you will answer my brother.
-Kids' table. You're over there.
-[TJ] Over at that table, there.
-[Ashtin] I'm sitting here.
-[Thomas] Over there still?
-Damn, you guys really want us gone.
-Yeah, go bye-bye.
[man 2] Can I get anybody a drink
or anything? All set?
-I'm good, thank you.
-I think I'm good.
-Thank you so much.
-I haven't had beans in so long.
-Oh, wait.
-[Ashley] Hm?
-This goes on here.
-[Ashley] The lettuce and onion?
-[Alix] I thought it was a salad.
-Oh. [laughs]
-[Ashley] Mmm! Why are beans so good?
-[Ashtin] You look great.
-Perfect.
-Are you kidding?
-[Ashtin] Yeah.
-What?
You have food all over your face.
You look beautiful.
Alix, how are you feeling inside
about everything?
Um, terrible.
-[Ashley] Yeah.
-[TJ] Really?
Yeah, because I can't read
what's going on with Braxton.
We were together for almost three years.
And we went through a break-up
over the phone.
I was like, "Can I come see you?"
And he was like, "No."
And now I regret
not flying out and showing up.
-Do you want to talk to him?
-Yeah.
I don't know, like,
I see him and my brain thinks,
"Oh, that's my best friend.
I can go talk to him."
[Ashley] He's your rock.
-[Ashtin and Ashley] Oh, no.
-Oh, no! [laughs, sniffles]
-I've gotta stop crying.
-[Ashtin] Yeah.
[poignant pop music playing]
[Ashley] It's okay.
-It's gonna be okay.
-Yeah.
-I'm sure he's feeling the same way.
-Enough with the tears, Alix.
Yeah. He's just--
Men show emotions a lot differently.
-They hold them all in.
-I mean, he's all over social media.
Posting like crazy.
He's probably trying to find a girlfriend.
I haven't seen Braxton for a few months,
and we're both out and about.
People gossip about us
being with other people.
I do think a lot of the, like.
online support for us to be together
comes from, like, my audience
seeing me so happy with Braxton,
seeing these edits and things
and comments all the time.
Like, it's… really hard, honestly, to see.
And I knew that was, like,
gonna be another hurdle I had to get over
with, like, just mourning
the loss of this relationship,
but then, like, having it
shoved in my face all the time.
So I don't know
if they'll ever get over it.
[laughs mirthlessly, sighs]
Me and them both. [laughs mirthlessly]
-So it's off, right?
-[TJ] Yeah.
Then, everyone, close your eyes.
-Alix, I said close your eyes.
-[Ashley] Alix! [chuckles]
And ready?
-It's…
-[all exclaiming]
-[Ashtin] I'm stuck.
-[Thomas] Oh, yeah.
That's so great.
I just hate everything being, like,
so surrounded by boys, you know?
You guys have to just go out,
like, on dates.
You can't always be with your girlfriends
all the time, that's not healthy.
That's a problem.
-Well, it's really hard to trust anyone.
-[Alix] I know.
They're all pigs.
You even said at dinner the other night,
all men are cheaters.
Yeah. Why do you think
I got into the situation that I got in?
I was working all these jobs and, like,
trying to pay my bills and stuff,
and I was dating guys,
they were all cheating.
And somebody came up to me
and said, "You can do this."
And I was like, "Okay, well,
I want to not have emotion…
[Alix and Ashtin] Mm-hm.
…and be like a guy."
[pensive music playing]
I don't bring up my past life
kind of at all with Alix and Ashtin.
I feel like my kids know so much more
just because of, like, normal,
everyday conversations that we have.
But if I could do it all over again,
I do wish I had some harder conversations
when they were younger
just to open up that outlet of, like,
"Hey, I'm here if you want to just,
you know, talk about anything."
And I think that they've…
held a lot of those feelings in.
But I feel like, as they've gotten older,
they're like,
"Okay, I think Ashley's like our friend,
and she understands something."
-So I feel like it's gotten much easier.
-[music fades]
So you think we should
be hooking up with people?
Yeah, I think that it's healthy
to expand your horizons of…
Once you settle down and you meet someone,
how do you know that's the person
you wanna be with the rest of your life?
That's why I'm taking a year
of trying to be healthy.
I want to, like, figure out myself,
and be alone with myself,
even though I'm not really liking it.
I think you'll be fine.
-I don't know.
-You need to go get a relationship.
You keep saying to be in a relationship,
don't be in a relationship.
-I don't understand what you want from me.
-But you keep saying don't…
You're fine and the spiritual guide,
advisor or whatever,
and you haven't been
in a relationship in a long time.
I'm fine.
If it's up to you, nobody needs to be in
a relationship, nobody needs a date.
Well, I don't think
you have to, like, constantly.
Like, I don't want to walk around
seeking validation from people.
-Like, I'm good.
-It's not validation.
It's like, I don't know, having somebody
hold you and be there for you.
It's just different than a girlfriend.
[Ashtin] Like…
What about being independent?
Is anyone proud of me
for being independent?
-[Ashley] I mean, of course we are.
-Yeah. I…
You know, it's just nice to have,
like, a partner at the end of the day.
-If they're the right person.
-[Ashley] Yeah.
I'd rather be single
than be with, like, a shitty boyfriend.
We're not talking about a boyfriend.
You keep saying relationship
and then not relationship.
-What do you want from me?
-To date.
I don't know why
Ashley is so passionate all of a sudden
about me getting out there and dating.
It's kind of offensive
that everyone thinks
I need to have a boyfriend
to, like, have a fulfilled life.
I don't get it.
I don't know, leave me alone.
She can't get a boyfriend
because this is the only time
we've ever been single together
in our lives.
If you'll both be single for a year,
you're right, it's great.
-A great time to… be single.
-[Ashley] Yeah.
-[pensive pop music playing]
-I don't want you watching me ♪
Tell me how it floats
From the back seat ♪
Are you feeling okay after lunch today?
I mean, like, I just don't even know
what Ashley is saying to me anymore.
-She's, like--
-I don't really get it either.
She says it all the time,
"Date someone, but don't date someone,
but don't be in a relationship,
but you want to have emotion."
Then like, "Just hook up with people."
-I think-- Yeah.
-And I'm like, wait.
I was confused when she kept saying
you just need someone's touch
or someone's hug or something.
-I was…
-And I was like, what?
[whispers] Then I was confused
when she was like,
"You know, that's how I got into my job."
[snickers]
-I… That…
-[laughs]
-That didn't land for me at all.
-[tense, pensive music playing]
I had no idea
where she was going with that.
Ashley sometimes just doesn't think
before she speaks.
There's moments where,
like, Ashtin and I just, like…
We'll be like, "What's going on?"
You know?
And it's nice to have Ashtin
to relate to with that.
But then now it's scary
because… we're filming.
So she's going to see that.
So I, like, have to tell her that.
You know?
-Ahead of time, hopefully.
-[music fades]
-She means well, though, I think.
-She's trying.
Like, it's coming from a good place.
It's just not landing in one.
[upbeat pop music playing]
Get ready with us
for Palm Tree Festival in Aspen.
There's just something
about partying in winter gear.
The sun shines on me
When I'm strutting down that road ♪
-Izabel, can you take them?
-[Izabel] Okay.
[shuddering]
-Do you want more of the sky or you?
-[Alix] Well, me.
Ooh-la-la-la
They be like, "Ooh-la-la-la ♪
Okay. Thanks.
Oh! [laughs]
[cell phone ringing]
-Hey, is it fun?
-[Sally] Yes, it's so fun.
But it's the worst thing
ever until you're here!
Okay, I'm coming.
-Okay, love you, bye.
-[Alix] Love you.
[TJ] Have you talked to Sally yet?
About what?
About you know what.
Firing her?
-[portentous music playing]
-No.
I should probably do it soon, though.
Yeah. [clears throat]
I mean… it's not gonna get any easier, so…
I feel like it just needs to happen.
[TJ] Yeah. Are you nervous?
Like knots in my stomach.
Probably won't go well.
Alix didn't manage her employee, right?
Like, Sally's her friend,
first and foremost.
But she was also working for her,
so you have to be able to do both.
And I don't think
Alix was comfortable with that at all.
So you basically had a friend
who was supposed to be doing a job,
who didn't do the job
because you didn't really manage them
as an employee,
so they basically got paid
to be your friend.
Unfortunately, she has to now fire her,
which is super uncomfortable,
and I understand that,
but I enjoy watching them learn and grow
and do the things
that they're uncomfortable doing.
-Hi.
-OMG, your toes are going to freeze off.
I figured you guys are wearing heels,
so I feel like I can muscle through it.
Let's see.
Alix, did you see the Deuxmoi post?
What Deuxmoi post?
-Go on Instagram.
-Today?
-Yeah, just now.
-Wait, from today?
-[Alix] Wait.
-What do you mean?
[Ashley] Dun-dun-dun! ♪
-This is actually my worst fear.
-[Ashtin] What is it?
-It's the first thing that comes up.
-Did it?
So, "Braxton and Olivia Jade
flirting all night."
[tense, pensive music playing]
I think they were just hanging out.
I don't know if they were, like…
Hopefully, not doing anything.
Wait, is there a picture? Hm…
[dramatic rap music playing]
[TJ] He looks a little excited.
-[Ashtin] Um, are you okay?
-Yeah, I don't care.
[music crescendos, fades]
[Ashtin] Oh…
[Alix] It's probably nothing.
It probably is.
Just because you're talking to someone…
-Yeah.
-Doesn't mean anything.
Listen, this is the hard part,
but you just got to power through.
I'm fine.
-[Ashtin] She's fine. She's fine.
-Let's go. [laughs]
Bye, have fun.
-[Ashley] I love you. Be good.
-[dramatic rap music playing]
-Mama's drinking tonight, though.
-[Penelope] You guys should be good.
[TJ] Thomas, hold down the fort.
-[Ashley] Want me to take your phone?
-[Ashtin] Please.
-[Alix] No.
-[Ashley] Put it in my pocket.
-[Ashtin] She's reading the comments.
-[Alix] I have to post something.
[Ashley] What does it say?
I'm the worst. What does it say?
-[TJ] See you, guys. Be good.
-[door closes]
[music fades]
Did they leave?
Yeah.
[Izabel] We're not allowed
to have all this candy.
But I don't see any adults around.
[lilting pop music playing]
Give me the Fro-Tru.
Yo, let me eat my candy.
-I like the smaller bites.
-I like to freeze it.

Oh my gosh, we're out, honey!
Mom and Dad are out tonight.
Isn't this a great feeling?
Fucking crazy, like,
Izabel's gonna be doing this
in a few years,
and I don't think I'm ready for it.
Izabel is gonna be doing this
in a few years?
I mean, 13… 18.
Next five years.
She's not gonna be here in a few years.
She'll be home with us.
Going out, she has no interest.
-This is like famous last words.
-[TJ] Yeah.
That's what we said about Alix and Ashtin,
and where are we?
[electronic dance music continues]
-[Ashley] Vodka makes me a little crazy.
-Yeah.
[man] Braxton!
[Sally] Braxton.
-[Sally groans]
-[Alix] Can you see them?
-Don't watch. Don't watch. I'm watching.
-Okay.
Can you see them?
No, I'm trying.
-Stop looking.
-Well, I want to.
[Sally] I know, but…
-Where's Braxton? I wanna talk to him.
-[Ashley] Can we go over there?
[TJ] I'm going.
-[Ashley] I'm gonna go say hi.
-To Braxton?
[electronic dance music continues]
[Sally] What? What?
I think they're going
to say hi to Braxton.
I knew that they were gonna do this.
I was like, "Don't talk to him."
Don't be like-- I mean, you could say hi,
but don't be so overly friendly, whatever.
[TJ] Hi, how have you been?
So good to see you.
Come over here.
[Ashley] I love you.
And then my dad
is out in the crowd partying with him.
And I'm seeing this on my TikTok.
I'm scrolling.
I'm seeing my dad's partying
in the crowd with Braxton.
Hi, have any respect for me over here?
Whatever happens,
it's gonna be a good night
and a fun night.
-Yes.
-And no one can ruin our vibes.
[Sally] All of our friends are here.
-[Alix] Yeah.
-[Sally] You're surrounded by support.
Too blessed to be stressed, baby.
-Let's go. Eyes!
-Too blessed to be stressed.
-[Payton] Eyes.
-Eyes!
I love you.

[smoke detector beeping]
Beep, beep, beep.
[Alix] Holy shit.
-[gasps] Where did you get that?
-[laughs]
There's a water bottle.
There's water. There's water in here.
[whimsical music playing]
-Spilling.
-[Ashtin laughs]
I want more sourdough.
[Ashtin] Alix.
You took the whole water.
This is the thirstiest
I've ever been in my life.
[laughs]
[Alix] Whoever let me text Braxton
at 4:00 a.m. will rue the day.
It was me.
-Was it?
-Mm-hm.
-I said, "Do you--"
-Are you serious?
I said, "Are you sure
you wanna be texting him at 4:00 a.m.?"
And you said, "Uh-huh."
-[laughs]
-Why did you let me do that?
-The text actually wasn't bad.
-I told you not to.
It was a moment of weakness for me.
P!
-You look so pretty.
-Where's everybody's legs?
Can you lay on top of me?
Like, sort of like a weighted blanket.
I need the touch.
How do we find my purse?
I'm so tired.
I don't even wanna hear about it.
Did you see me talking to Braxton?
-Yeah.
-I talked to Braxton too.
-I did too.
-[Alix] What'd he say?
Well, I talked to him about myself.
To me, he was mocking me, saying,
"I told you not to
break up with me. Ha, ha."
-He was so excited.
-[Ashtin] He said that?
-Yes. And he was like, "Ha, ha, ha, ha."
-[Ashtin] What?
And I was like, wait, what?
Wait, I wouldn't have let you text him
if I knew he said that to you.
-Yeah, that's right.
-That's crazy.
He was laughing in my face.
Like, "I told you not to do this."
[Sally] He's so cryptic.
"I told you this was a mistake.
Ha, ha, ha, ha."
I had enough drinks to have the courage
to go up and say hi to Braxton.
I don't remember exactly.
I must have said something
along the lines of, like,
"This is really hard seeing you.
Like, this is hard for me."
And I was trying to just be,
like, honest with him.
And I felt like that was not reciprocated.
And he was being a little standoffish.
So I just walked away.
I can't believe I had that much
self-control in the moment, actually.
[laughs] Um…
And then I texted him when I got home.
No!
He probably sent
his own photos in to Deuxmoi.
Def.
He's like, "You're on Deuxmoi?
I'm on Deuxmoi too."
[Julia] What's your guys' plan?
[Alix] Dying.
[Penelope] You want sourdough?
[Alix and Sally gasp]
-[Alix] I want everything.
-[Sally] Just bring everything you got.
-[lilting, pensive music playing]
-Uh-- Uh…
-[TJ] What were you guys doing downstairs?
-[Thomas] They're really hungover.
So now he's going to leave me
on "delivered" twice.
What did you say?
-I texted him--
-[cell phone chimes]
-[gasps, screams]
-[yelling]
-[Alix yells] He answered!
-[yelling]
-[lively music playing]
-[yells]
[screams] He answered!
What did he say?
Stop it, Alix. It hurts my back.
[Julia] Alix, what the fuck did he say?
-Oh. [laughs]
-[laughs]
-Oh, it's not good.
-[Julia] What did he say?
I texted him, "Off camera."
"Let me know
if you can talk at any point."
"Not sure if you're leaving,
but I'd love to catch up."
He said, "Really hard to trust
anything is off camera lately, so…"
[laughs] "But I'm back in Miami today,
taking off in a few."
So he really just roasted me because…
-He's right.
-[laughs] He's right.
But I meant it when I sent it at 4:30.
It was a slipup. It was a glitch.
It was a glitch. I glitched.
[Sally] Oh my gosh.
[pensive music playing]
[Thomas] Did you preheat the oven?
-[Ashley] I did.
-[Thomas] Good.
[Ashley] I don't think
the oven is ready yet, Izabel.
They're getting ready, showering.
You should just go do it. Use the time.
[music fades]
[Izabel] I'm not gonna
do thick lashes today,
although that is my favorite thing ever.
-[timer beeping]
-[gasps]
Did the timer go off for the brownies?
-Izabel--
-[Ashley] Where is she?
-Not here.
-[Mickey] Getting ready.
-[Thomas] Izabel!
-What?
[Thomas] You should
put the brownies in the oven!
Okay, I will, but not right now!
[Thomas] It's been ready for like an hour!
Okay! Then I'll do it later!
[Ashtin] The sass…
[lilting music playing]
You guys sick of each other?
-Hey, Penelope. That's not nice.
-[gasps]
She got my mascara everywhere.
Penelope! [chuckles]
-I'm gonna kill her.
-It's okay.
[cell phone line dialing]
-[Ashley] Hello?
-[Izabel] Mom.
-Also, you're on speaker.
-[Ashley] Yeah?
But, like, Penelope, she was like,
"Go put your brownies in the oven."
And I was, like, kind of annoyed at her,
so I kind of gave her,
like, a bunch of attitude.
Like, sorry, I kind of apologize for that.
But then she came here
and whacked me on the head.
And my mascara's now everywhere,
and I have to redo all my makeup.
[Ashley] She put the brownies in the oven,
and she wanted to surprise you,
and it's totally normal--
[Izabel] It's not about the brownies.
You're all guilty.
I love you so much. Goodbye.
[mischievous music playing]
[laughs]
Penelope, did you approve of that one?
Okay, good.
[music fades]
I love when Dad drives me,
'cause I know everything now.
Like, I knew that Alix
was planning on firing Sally.
[Ashtin] She's gonna be
blindsided by this.
I think it's kind of mean
to do it when you're hungover.
[Izabel] She looks like a mess.
[Ashtin] I feel like I'd throw up
if someone fired me now.
-Projectile.
-Well, you don't have a job.
What? Bitch, yes, I do. [laughs]
Going to fashion shows
does not count as a job.
Yes, it does.
My lady.
-[laughs] Thank you. Three?
-You're welcome.
I mean, unless you want to take two.
I take three. You can take two, though.
It just seems like a lot of pills.
-[Ashley] Take two.
-[Sally] Maybe I need that.
Why don't you take two, then?
Because I think maybe I have one more.
[tense, pensive music playing]
Okay.
[sighs]
My head is throbbing.
I feel like I can barely see straight.
I know that
I'm not gonna see Sally for a while,
so I'm like,
this is the time to just do it now.
And I, like,
can't even look her straight in the eyes.
I'm so panicked.
I cannot believe
I'm firing my best friend.
-I wanted to bring something up.
-[music fades]
What?
I know we're not gonna be
in person together for a minute.
Can I hold your hand?
-Yeah.
-[laughs nervously]
I think, like,
with everything with Snapchat,
it feels like there's
this unspoken weirdness with it.
Wait, what do you mean?
I don't love working with a friend,
because I don't want to, like,
boss you around and whatever,
but it might be best if we just
cut that tie.
[tense, pensive music resumes]
It's not a "you" problem.
I think it's a "me" problem.
I just feel awkward.
I don't know,
I never wanted to be letting you down
or not doing it correctly.
And then I know you got mad
when I posted things that you didn't like.
It's hard to have somebody else
posting for you.
Yeah, it is.
-And I also feel like it's awkward.
-Uh-huh.
This is the first person I've fired.
[both laugh]
You've been soft launching firing me.
I'm not worried about my Snapchat.
No more Snap.
-[laughs]
-You can still do it if you want.
-[laughs]
-[gasps] Alix, no, I'm fired.
I know you're fired, but if you wanna
just hop on every now and then.
Okay, I'll post
whenever you don't look ugly.
[both laugh]
Honestly, I feel like
a weight's lifted off my shoulders
now that I don't have to be worried
about posting on Alix's Snapchat
or worried that
I'm not meeting the numbers.
I think we'll grow a lot closer
now that we're not working together
because we can just be best friends again
and not have work involved.
[Alix] Love you.
Love you.

Okay, guys, my outfit of the day.
This is from Garage,
and this is from Aritzia,
and they're like the waffle sweatpants.
They're, like, so comfy,
because I'm really short.
My jewelry is from Kendra Scott, and…
-[Ashley laughing]
-[laughs] Hey.
-[Izabel] Hi, Dad.
-Dad, where's your outfit from?
[TJ] The house.
-[Ashtin] Hey.
-[TJ] Izabel's TikToking.
-Izabaddie? Cute.
-[Ashley] She's TikToking.
Can I get in it?
-You're a loser.
-What are you doing? Oh.
-[lilting music playing]
-[all laughing]
Izabaddie, she's like…
She always does her head bop,
and she's like, "Yes."
She, like, puckers her lips.
I think I do that too, though.
I think she's
a way better influencer than I am.
Can you guys believe
she's doing TikToks now?
-No. You look so old.
-[Ashtin] I know, like, what happened?
I feel like this past year,
you just turned into a little adult.
I am scared because there's…
She's so young.
You don't need to be in a rush to grow up.
I'm not.
I'm just saying.
-I don't want you to feel any pressure.
-[Ashley] It's a lot of pressure.
Yeah, I don't feel any pressure at all.
You're still in middle school.
I feel like that's like…
You're so young,
and so many people follow you.
And even Penelope too.
You guys are under a microscope
that's not necessarily normal at your age.
There's a lot of people
looking at what you do and what you say.
And I think you have to learn to be smart
with what you put out there.
People will sell you a dream
or just try to take advantage of you,
and it's… I don't know, it can be tricky.
Social media has totally changed
our family in so many ways.
I mean, we are so public.
Everybody knows everything.
To let them in as much as we do
is not normal. It's scary.
When Alix did the Alex Cooper interview,
it brought up so many things
from my past and our family's past.
It was so embarrassing for me
to go through all of that.
You think something's your secret forever.
And, you know, for conversations
that I have to have with my little kids,
to their friends seeing it,
to their parents seeing it,
and everything, just to, like,
relive all of those traumas,
for me, really was--
It took its toll on me.
-[Penelope] Alix?
-[Alix] Hm?
[Penelope] Put down the camera.
You and Ashtin,
maybe Mom,
you guys always listen to your comments.
And if they say, like,
"Oh, you don't look pretty,"
you question yourself, thinking,
like, "Do I look pretty?"
"Am I ugly?"
[Alix] Thanks, Penelope.
We just need to have
a little bit more of your mindset.
When people say you're bloated--
I've literally witnessed this.
-You're like--
-Bloated?
-[Penelope] Yeah.
-[Ashtin] Alix is like, "Whoa."
[all laugh]
"Who's saying I'm bloated?"

playing over speakers]

[Penelope] You have to find a huzzby!
[Ashtin] I'm too hung over
to find a huzz right now.
[Alix] I wanna talk to you,
but can we go upstairs
so it's a little quieter?
[Ashley] Yeah, let's go.
[Alix] I feel bad,
and I always feel a sense of guilt
talking shit about Ashley.
And I wanna say something to her,
but I also don't know
the best way to approach it.
I think a lack of communication
is problematic for us at times,
so I want us to just talk more
and be a little bit more open
and have those tough,
awkward conversations.
Okay.
Um…
Well, I just wanted to talk to you
because I think it's important for us
to be honest about this stuff.
Yeah.
Yesterday, Ashtin and I were talking,
like, after lunch, whatever,
and you were like,
"Have fun, go see people,"
and we were like,
"I don't know, why is she saying that?"
-I don't wanna do that.
-Yeah.
Then I felt so anxious
yesterday since saying that
because I just feel like
I can shit on Dad,
shit on Mom, shit on Ashtin,
it feels like, whatever,
we brush it off in two seconds.
But I feel like there's unresolved
or unspoken things between us sometimes,
and, like, I feel awkward.
I feel awkward right now.
And, like, I want to be honest
because I feel like we don't
sometimes talk about this stuff.
So…
I think it's--
It'd be important for us to.
Ever since the Alex Cooper interview,
we've never had an honest conversation
about, like, us and, like,
how things have made me feel.
You guys have never
really been in my corner.
Like, sometimes you guys
just throw me under the bus.
You don't feel
we have corrected that story?
No, I don't think
it's been corrected, like, at all.
After that episode was released,
family group chat was deleted.
-We didn't talk for three months.
-Yeah.
We all had to go to therapy
to start talking to each other again.
I get so worried and anxious
about hurting your feelings
because I feel it'll hurt our relationship
and then hurt the family's relationship.
[Ashley] For 17 years,
you haven't been so easy on me.
I feel like I've done
so much for our family,
and I just feel, like, not appreciated.
I think that's maybe your own insecurity.
Like, "I don't want to treat her shitty."
I get it. If I was in their shoes
and this girl came into our life,
I wouldn't want
anything to do with her either.
Nothing I say or do
will ever erase things.
But as many times
as I cried myself to sleep at night,
I would just wake up the next day
and be like,
I'll just show up harder
love harder, try harder,
and, you know, hopefully,
eventually, things would work out.
It's fine. I'm not mad at you.
Yeah, but I also don't want you to feel
slighted and left out and not appreciated.
I think as I've gotten older,
realizing also the position you're in,
hanging out with my mom
and taking your family time
and family holidays
to spend with dad's ex-wife,
that's really big of you,
and we all really appreciate it.
And I just don't think
that we tell you that enough.
I want you to know
that we see that and we appreciate it.
Well, I really appreciate you saying that,
and it means so much just to hear it.
And I'm crying.
-[poignant music playing]
-Um…
'Cause it's been, like, a hard road,
and, like, it hasn't been an easy journey.
I want to even get closer than we are now,
which is crazy,
because you've been in my life,
which feels like forever,
and we're family.
-I love you.
-I love you.
And I appreciate,
you know, our conversation.
This even makes me feel so much better.
Just be like this,
and I'm gonna do the same, okay?
And I'm fucking frozen, and I need
to go back down and have my tea.
I love you.
[electronic dance music playing]
[yawns]
[Ashley] Thomas, ski?
Do you wanna go ski tomorrow?
-Yeah.
-High five?
[message whooshes]
[Alix] Wait, Ashtin,
what is Mom texting about?
[Ashtin] What?
Mom just texted me, "Both of you
not being real with me and lying to me."
"I'm done with this whole show."
[Ashtin] What?
-[Alix] What's happening?
-[tense, pensive music playing]
[Penelope] Hey, Dad.
[TJ] Yep?
-[Penelope] Alisa's mad.
-[TJ] Why?
[Penelope] She's done with the show.
[woman] What is she talking about?
I have no idea.
[line dialing]
-Why? What did they do?
-[Penelope] I don't know.
[line continues dialing]
Hey.
[Penelope] And they're both
really confused, so…
[TJ] Uh, okay. That's not good.
[line continues dialing]
Mom?
[Alisa] Yes?
Hi, we're filming. What's happening?
All right, well, I'm gonna hang up then.
-[Ashtin] Why? What's going on?
-What's wrong?
I want some real time with my daughters
when they call me in private.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
-Bye.
-[dramatic music playing]
She seems, like, mad.
Yeah, she seems really mad.
[woman] Do you have any idea?
[Alix] I have no idea.
What's going on?
Losing all control… ♪
-Is something wrong with Mom?
-[Alix] Mm-hm. I'm trying to ask her.
Did you post something?

Aspen definitely

Uh, I drunk-texted my ex,
which didn't go so well.
Just fired my best friend,

So everything just sort of sucks.
Hm. [inhales] Uh, okay.
