Earle Meets World (2026) s01e05 Episode Script

[electronic dance music playing]
[TJ over speaker] These are things
that inevitably degrade the conversation.
[Alix] Isn't the point, though, that we're
supposed to be honest with each other?
No, no, no.
You're supposed to be respectful.
I run the show and I'm taking names ♪
I'm so incredible, I can't complain ♪
You think you know me
That I'm switching lanes ♪
So quick enough
That you call it insane… ♪
Oh, they're fighting.
They're fighting about Ashley.
I think it was about
the TikTok she posted.
I… I don't even want to know.
[TJ] There were a couple things you said,
like, "I feel like
you do this to me on purpose."
Like, that's not true.
Because I genuinely wonder that.
I genuinely wonder, like, do--
Yeah, well, maybe sometimes
you gotta filter what you say.
Just because you're wondering it,
doesn't mean it should be
coming out of your mouth.
This is not a conversation that you would
have with anybody that you work with,
or anybody you work for.
I'm not saying you can't be
a little more relaxed with family,
but you can't venture
into an area of being disrespectful
without getting negative consequences.
[Alix] Okay, I understand
what you're saying.
And I'm trying not to be disrespectful,
but I'm always going to be honest.
One thing I was thinking about for you,
CEO training classes on managing people.
And you want me to use this
for talking to our family?
Uh… yes.
Okay, well, sign Ashley up then too.
Oh, no.
[Alisa groans] Oh boy.
I'm the, I'm the boss ♪
[music fades]
[Alix] Is dinner ready?
[Ashtin] Wait, what the hell was going on?
What? Dad told me I need to think more
when I'm talking to my family.
-[Alisa] What?
-And not be so disrespectful.
I just think Ashley
will post things or say things
that will then negatively affect me.
And I was asking her, I was like,
"Do you not think before you post?"
Because that's a genuine question.
And Dad told me that
that's crossing the line.
And that is rude.
If Dad can micromanage us and what we post
and tell us not to post certain things,
like, he should be able to tell her.
Dad's signing me up for
How to Be a CEO, Manage People classes.
-[Ashtin] Why?
-Which will help me deal with the family.
-I'm not sure how that makes sense.
-That makes no sense.
Did you just talk to your dad?
Or did you talk to Ashley about it?
Um, no, I just talked to Dad.
I'll probably talk to Ashley when we go
to like Wellington or just talk in person.
-[sighs] I can't breathe right now.
-[pensive music playing]
That makes me really upset.
This always happens.
We always make up and we're really good.
And then something happens
and we're back to square one.
No comment.
This is generally how Ashley and Alix's
arguments have gone over the years.
I think Ashley is always
competing against her
for, I don't know, TJ's attention, which…
That's what's made me
not be able to trust her completely.
But Alix is an adult now.
She may come to me and vent
about a situation that happened.
But if I try to step in, she'd be like,
"Stay out of it, Mom."
-[music fades]
-Can't wait for Wellington.
I can't wait.
-I'm avoiding all of these conversations.
-[upbeat music playing]
-Ashtin's the avoidant.
-Yeah.
After talking to my mom
and hearing she was upset about Aspen,
we decided that we wanted
to invite my mom and Todd to Wellington
to watch Penelope compete.
She is passionate about horseback riding.
I don't know the correct way to say it.
-Horse jumping, horse…
-[music distorts, fades]
Her horse competitions. I don't know.
Her showing.
-That's what it is. Her showing.
-[upbeat music resumes]
We're all really excited
to go on this vacation together,
but there's a little bit of tension
from a few different ends right now.
So maybe, honestly,
maybe this trip will be good
for clearing the air on everything
and everyone getting on the same page.
-It'll be fun.
-[Alisa] It's fine. It's all fine.
-It's all good.
-[Alisa] It's all fine.
She went to the CEO training course.
-[all laughing]
-[Ashtin] No comment.
-[electronic dance music playing]
-Wake up in the morning ♪
Heavy traffic, busy line ♪
Trying to make a transfer
But I'm running out of time ♪
It's too late, too late
Too late, too late ♪
[music fades]
-Ashti.
-[Ashtin] Hi.
[TJ] What are you doing?
Oh, I just got back
the Coach pictures from the show.
-Do you want to see them?
-Yeah.
They're super, like, emo. [laughs]
I'm getting very goth
and grungy girl in them.
[TJ] That looks so not like Coach.
-[Ashtin] I know.
-[lively dance music playing]
I do still, like,
want to try to get into modeling.
[music stops]
Like, I don't know.
Like, I really, really do
want to, like, go for it.
Like, it's something
I've always wanted to do
but never really thought it was feasible.
Going to school and getting a job was,
like, our only option.
But now I'm an influencer,
and I'm transitioning
into this more fashion-based influencer.
And I feel like
this is the time for me to at least try.
Yeah, but I feel like you just started.
Like, can't we, like…
I feel like you got to start somewhere.
Like, you're…
I know, but I feel I should be talking
to modeling agencies or something.
[ethereal, pensive music playing]
When I was a sophomore in college,
Alix was already doing her content thing
and I was not doing it at all.
But my dad was managing her
and he was kind of like,
"Oh, you should try to get a few
brand deals while you're in school."
Then I was doing small brand deals
in college and just posting about my life.
And over the second half
of my college career,
I kind of just, like,
slowly and gradually started to grow.
And by the time I graduated college,
I had made a full career
for myself out of this,
even though it wasn't, like,
what I fully planned on with my life.
Yeah, that's kind of how I got here.
And I'm still kind of figuring out
exactly what this looks like for me.
[music fades]
We just need to meet with a bunch
of people until we find the right people.
And, like, we don't have to, like,
go to sign with someone right now,
but I feel like at least talking to people
would be helpful.
My concern is that you're gonna shut off
all the progress
that you've made as a creator.
In terms of working
and a job and livelihood, like,
the priority is picking something
that can provide
financially for you.
[pensive music playing]
In this business,
there are the things that you love doing,
and then there are the things
that will make you money.
And sometimes they don't align.
So my goal is to hopefully help them
achieve success
in something that they love doing.
Thankfully for Alix, that's working.
And Ashtin, we're still kind of
playing around with it a little bit.
At the end of the day,
you have to make money to be successful.
I just feel like you only care
about me making money
and not actually doing what I want to do.
And it feels super vain to be, like,
"I want to be a model,"
but it's just something that's always been
really cool and exciting to me.
And I feel like I wouldn't have
the opportunity to go for it
if it weren't for influencing,
which is why I feel like there's got to be
some way we can do both.
-[poignant, pensive music playing]
-[inhales] I don't know. Uh, I don't know.
Whatever. I'll do it on my own.
I don't want to get fired.
Okay, well, whatever.
-We can talk about this later.
-[music fades]
Why is there a penis over your shoulder?
[laughs]
[Ashtin] I think Thomas drew that.
I asked him about it the other day,
and he was like,
"I was trying to draw a test tube
with two wheels on it."
"I think it started to look strange."
And I go, "Really, Thomas?"
Why would somebody
draw a test tube with wheels?
-[Ashtin] I don't know!
-[both laugh]
I think he was lying.
[electronic dance music playing]
I know I'm the best, yes
Here to see… ♪
This might be a terrible idea,
but I'm doing my own makeup
for the Vanity Fair Oscars party tonight.
I just decided, let me do it myself.
But I was also, like, drunk in Vegas,
so it seemed like
a better idea at the time.
-[people whooping]
-Can't nobody do it like this… ♪
I'm slightly regretting this decision,
but it's too late now.
Can't nobody do it like this ♪
I know you like me, I know you want me ♪
[man] Alix!
Oh, it's so tempting ♪
[photographers clamoring]
I know you want me
So try to get me ♪
One day, you'll see… ♪
I had the best night ever,
and I'm just now recovering.
You know how I also knew
it was a good night?
I do not have one photo,
one video on my phone.
The only thing I have is when
I was coming back at 7:00 in the morning.
[music stops]
[laughs awkwardly]
-[music resumes]
-No, can't nobody do it likes this ♪
-[Ashtin] It's so nice out.
-[music stops]
-I just want to lay in the sun.
-[Todd] It's gorgeous.
I need some color, huh? [laughs]
I need to look like you, Todd.
-And be all tanned.
-Tanned? I know.
-You want to go to Tiny's for a drink?
-[Alisa] Sure.
-Sure.
-Yes!
-You guys sit here, I'll sit here.
-Sure.
[Alisa] It's actually warm out.
[waiter] Can I get you guys
anything to drink?
I think I'm gonna have
an Aperol Spritz, please.
One Aperol Spritz.
Ooh, should I do an Aperol Spritz?
-[Alisa] Maybe.
-It's so nice out.
-It's spritz weather. We should do it.
-[Alisa] Yes.
-I guess I'll have the same.
-[waiter] Three Aperols?
[Ashtin] Thank you.
-[Todd] Thank you. Thank you.
-[Alisa] Thank you. Wow.
That's delicious.
Tank Top Todd.
It's almost tank top season.
-[Todd] I know.
-Are you excited?
No more tank tops.
-What?
-[Todd] Why not? Exactly.
-[Alisa] I don't like them.
-Don't listen to her.
-We need Tank Top Todd.
-I'm not gonna--
-[Alisa] We do not need Tank Top Todd.
-Yes, we do.
-[Alisa groans]
-[lilting music playing]
[woman] What do you love about a tank top?
[laughing]
"What's not to love about a tank top?"
is probably a more
appropriate question to ask.
It's liberating.
I don't know.
I don't really have a good answer for you.
I just wear them when it's hot.
You know, sometimes I'll wear tank tops
just because I know it makes your mom mad.
-[music fades]
-[laughing]
-I'm gonna burn them all.
-[Todd laughs] I'll keep buying them.
[upbeat music playing]
If you had arms that looked like mine,
wouldn't you wear tank tops all the time?
-Yes.
-[Todd laughs]
[Ashtin] Oh my God.
[Alisa] Anyhoo.
I've kind of been a little bit annoyed
at Dad, Manager Dad,
because we have our weekly meeting
with everyone on my team,
where we all speak about--
Just about you, not about…
-Just me.
-[Alisa] Okay.
So it's like this is my one meeting
with Dad a week,
and he's missed it twice this month.
-Like, he's my manager.
-Right.
He just should be knowing
what's going on, and…
[pensive music playing]
How long before the meeting did he cancel?
Like five minutes.
He texted in our group chat and was like,
"Hey, guys, can't make it today."
[all laughing]
Well, tell me.
I'll just listen in. I'll just listen in.
-You're going to listen?
-[Alisa] I'll listen in.
My mom is usually pretty supportive
and excited for me
whenever I'm doing anything.
Sometimes with my dad, I feel like
nothing I do feels like it's a big deal
just because it's not, like,
as big as what Alix is doing.
But it's impossible
to ever live up to Alix's pace.
And I don't want to be
a carbon copy of Alix.
I want to do things
that are more for me and, you know,
make my own name in this world.
I feel like
this is just like personal problems.
But, like, sometimes when we're
at family dinner, you know,
obviously he just is talking
about Alix the entire time,
even when she's not there,
which is fine, I get it.
-She has a lot going on.
-Yeah.
And I honestly don't really
like the attention on me anyway.
Yeah. It's like you've handled
yourself very, like, elegantly
and, like, supportive of her as well.
Yeah, of course I'd be supportive of her.
As you are also, like,
prospering in your own way.
[Ashtin] A lot of people actually ask me,
"Do you get like jealous
of your sister's career
and, like, what she has?"
I'm like, no, because I honestly expected
nothing when I started doing this.
Like, I knew I could--
Would never be her.
Like, I didn't even think
I could be anything on my own.
-I mean, she's just… I'm so proud of her.
-[poignant, pensive music playing]
-I'm so proud of you.
-She's my best friend.
-I'm supportive of her.
-[Todd] Of course.
[Ashtin] But I've also just had…
I feel like a lot of great things
are happening with work right now.
And I'm like really happy.
[Todd] Awesome.
I'm flying to Wellington a day late
because I have an important shoot
that I can't miss in the city.
I'm definitely still
figuring out how to navigate
what I actually want
versus what everyone else
is telling me I should want or should do.
I'm trying to learn
how to trust myself more.
I think that takes time and practice,
but I don't know, we'll see. [chuckles]
-[music fades]
-Comparing yourself to others.
-That's the worst thing you could do…
-I've been working really hard…
-…so you can compare yourself to yourself.
-…to stop comparing myself to anyone else.
And I honestly feel like that's why
I've been in really good spirits lately.
-I feel awesome.
-Cheers.
-[Todd] Cheers to you.
-And…
-Cheers. Todd needs another one.
-Todd needs another drink.
-[lively electronic music playing]
-[Todd] These are good.
They go down too fast.
-Better not give me too many of these.
-[all laugh]
[Ashley] We're having a family vacation.
Penelope's going to compete.
We're all going to Florida.
It is going to be fantastic.
Did what they want… ♪
We made it to the house
and it is four o'clock in the morning.
-Love, everybody. Good night.
-I might just quit but I ain't done ♪
[music fades]
-[crickets chirping]
-[dog barking]
[Alix] This is the most family thing ever.
I just got to Florida.
No one's answering the door,
no one's answering their phones.
But look who's saving the day now.
-Mom and Dad are asleep. Be quiet.
-[Alix] Yeah, I know.
Does anyone have food for me?
I'm starving.
[Izabel] Shh!
[upbeat music playing]
Seriously, thank God for Izabel
letting me in last night.
[Izabel] I'm always up.
[Alix] Can I post a TikTok
of me and Izabel twerking?
-[Ashley] What?
-I like bets, I like stacks ♪
I like money on time ♪
[Ashley] Ay caramba.
-No.
-[TJ] Why not?
-It's not even of me twerking.
-[Penelope laughs]
It's a dance.
-[laughs]
-[Ashley] No.
[TJ] You'd probably get Thomas to do it.
Thomas loves twerking.
-[Izabel and Penelope laugh]
-Be quiet! I'm drawing.
Can you guys believe that Ashtin
almost announced skin care yesterday?
-I saw that!
-Ruined the whole thing.
-What are you talking about?
-She posted the bottle.
Doing her skin care in her TikTok.
-And I'm like, "Oh my God."
-Mom?
[Ashley] Yeah, but you told me
I could take it and pump it
as long as you can't see the name,
which I haven't done.
-[Alix] No, I didn't!
-Yes, you did!
You said, "You can tease it."
-[Penelope] Yes, you did.
-[Ashley] Where were we?
-[TJ] Well, now you can't.
-Why would--? I would never say that.
You said you could start teasing,
but I never did it.
Reale Actives is a skin care company
that I have been working on
for the past two and a half years.
I'm so nervous, and I want to do it right.
-It is just a big passion project for me.
-[lively, hopeful music playing]
And all of this started
because acne is something
I've dealt with since,
like, middle school.
Like, it has just always been
a big insecurity for me.
And that's always something that's been
at, like, the core of my audience
and something that's
really resonated with people.
I thought that my life was over
and never going to get better.
If I can post that online
for millions of people to see,
then you can leave your house,
you can go to class,
you can go to the grocery store.
-You're fine.
-[music fades]
This launch is gonna be the biggest thing
I've ever done in my career.
But leave it to Ashtin
for me to have kept this a secret
for the past, like, two and a half years
and keep it so under wraps,
and, like, the week before
we're about to announce this brand,
Ashtin is, like, posting a day in her life
and, like, uses the moisturizer.
I texted her and then I texted--
Because she sometimes won't answer me,
I texted my dad and then I texted Sally
and everyone immediately.
I was like, "Alert!"
I was on a flight and I was like,
"Ashtin just posted Reale Actives."
If I didn't catch this video
in the first two minutes she put it up,
like, for sure someone would have seen it.
Everyone's getting
their phones taken away.
Ashtin's done. Ashley's done.
I'm going to have to write
a rule book for everyone
because apparently common sense
doesn't run in the family.
Are you gonna have
a serious conversation with Ashtin
and let her have it?
[slurping]
[Izabel] Yeah, keep sipping
on that straw.
Maybe we need to focus on Penelope.
Everyone pretend to be nice
and normal. [laughs]
Ashley and I really haven't
resolved our issues,
but it's very normal for us
to brush our conversations under the rug.
We both get very emotional,
and then I feel like
we don't hear each other out
because we're feeling so heated
about whatever it is that we're feeling.
So sometimes we need to take a moment
and then reconvene and come back.
And that's what we're doing now.
All right, what's the plan for today?
We gotta leave for the farm?
Oh, me and Thomas aren't going.
We're gonna have quality boy time.
Thomas, we don't have to go!
[Thomas] What?! No, I'm going!
Dad, you hear me? I'm going!
-[TJ] We're having boy time today.
-[Thomas] No!
-[TJ] You don't wanna have boy time?
-[Thomas] No!
-[TJ] You wanna have girl time?
-[Thomas] Yep.
[TJ] What's girl time?
[Thomas] It's when
you watch my sister ride.
Penelope, you're going to cook.
-[Alix and Ashley] Aww!
-[upbeat pop music playing]
Let's get dressed to go see Penelope
ride some horses in Wellington, Florida.
[whoops]
-Want to show your outfit, Thomas?
-[screeching]
[Alix] I get to wear
really cute outfits for this.
-Thanks, Penelope
-Wrapped up in the moment ♪
-Flying… ♪
-What's going on, guys?
-Hey!
-Hello.
-[Thomas] Hey.
-[Ashley] Ready?
[TJ] She going to jump today?
[Ashley] Yeah.
I'm always nervous.
-[woman] Breathe!
-[Ashley] It's scary.
Good job.
[woman] Three, two, release. Attagirl.
[Ashley] Good job! Yay!
[upbeat pop music continues]
-Dancing on the move ♪
-[music fades]
Thomas, you have a birthday coming up.
How old are you gonna be?
-Nine.
-[Ashley and Izabel] Nine.
And still sleeping
in his parents' bed. It's insane.
Stop pressing his buttons.
[Alix] What you guys doing?
Freehand, right? It's called freehand,
when you look at something and draw.
The kids are really making me rethink
not having any hobbies.
I feel like I have no talent.
-[Ashley] You have a ton of talent, Alix.
-It's okay.
-[Ashley] A ton of talent.
-What's a hobby I have?
Hey, TikTok is a hobby
and a real talent and a real skill.
I think, kind of,
TikTok is a real hobby and skill.
I wouldn't say definitely,
but I'd say it's kind of.
Do you want to sit outside,
um, and talk for a second?
Yeah, I want to talk to you. Let's go.
-[Izabel] Bye.
-[Ashley] BRB.
Thomas, make me something amazing.
[Alix sighs] I need a drink.
Shoes off, toes in.
Put our toes-- Let's put our dogs in.
-[Alix laughs]
-[Ashley] What's so funny?
-[Alix] It's really warm.
-[Ashley] Do I look like a freak?
Yeah, right. I don't know if I like this.
I feel like I gotta go
to the bathroom again.
[Alix] I mean, like, are my legs shaved?
I don't know.
[Ashley] No, I definitely wanted
to talk to you since California
and that whole conversation.
I don't speak to you like that,
I don't treat you like that.
And, you know, if I'm doing something
that makes you uncomfortable
or that you're not happy with,
like, just pick up the phone and call me.
-And let's have an adult conversation.
-Mm-hm.
And I feel like you've…
Over and over again have painted me
to be like this horrible person.
I mean, I think I'm just speaking
out of my emotions that I feel…
in the moment.
But you don't have to come and scream.
You can have an adult conversation.
You don't need to be like,
"Do you not think?"
"Are you trying to hurt me?"
I just feel like every single time
I make a misstep,
it's like the end of the world
of you guys coming down on me.
But I just feel like it's very much like
"Do as I say, not as I do."
It's okay for Ashtin to do certain things,
like talk about the skin care, right?
And, like, you not flipping out,
you just having a conversation with her.
When it comes time for if I do anything,
it's always like, "You're out to get me."
No, but I'm not nice to her yesterday
when I texted her about that.
I was like, "Are you kidding me,
you fucking stupid bitch?"
Just like, I don't know.
But I think like with anyone
else in the family,
it doesn't feel as deep or as hurtful
as to when it's between the two of us.
And…
I know that's because, I don't know,
we've had trouble
and whatever in the past.
Go away.
[Alix laughs]
I feel like sometimes you always think
that, like, people are attacking you
and coming at you,
and I think that's your trauma
that you need to work through too.
And I think I get most scared for you
and for Izabel and for Ashtin, right?
Like, to be under this microscope,
because, like, that's just not--
I don't want you to lose
who you are at the end of the day.
Yeah, I think…
I don't know why now
more than ever that's felt like…
Heavy?
Just hard. I don't know.
It just feels like
there's more of, like, a spotlight now,
and I don't know if it's because
of the breakup, or what it is.
But, like, I feel like everything I do
or everywhere I step out,
there's a story
or there's something twisted.
Which, even me sharing online,
like there's stuff I want to say.
And I'm like, "I probably shouldn't."
But I wouldn't have cared
about that two years ago.
It's hard having everything I do
be viewed with so many different opinions.
And being in this world has weirdly
made us all closer as a family too,
because I feel it's made me feel like
there's less people that I can trust.
My family are really the ones
to have my back.
-But Ashley is definitely sensitive.
-[poignant music playing]
We didn't always give her
the easiest time in the beginning.
So I think she just sort of like
reverts back to those feelings
of, like, everyone hates her
and doesn't want to get along with her,
or is finding something wrong about her
when anything little goes wrong.
I adore you and I love you so much.
And I know that you know that.
Yeah. And I love you too,
and I hope that you know that.
I think I just got, like,
insecure in that moment.
And I apologize
for the way I spoke to you.
And I should have come to you
a little bit more calmly
as opposed to aggressively about that.
-Thank you. I appreciate it.
-This looks like you guys need a drink.
-[Ashley] And I'm-- Yes.
-[Alix laughs]
-Yes.
-Perfect timing. [laughs]
Wow.
I would never want to put you
in a position where, you know,
it backfires on you,
and you have to deal with it again.
-[Alix] Yeah.
-So I love you.
-I love you too.
-So much.
-[Alix] Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Perfect. I came at just the right time.
-Literally perfect.
[poignant pop music playing]
Alix and I have come so far.
We've worked through things
that people would just give up
and they wouldn't continue
to work through.
I feel like as a stepparent too,
I feel like you are the first one
talked about, shit on, disposed of.
Um, I just think
it's the nature of the game.
And things are always going to come up
because we are going to
trigger one another.
It's just respecting each other
is the foundation for every relationship.
And I'm just cherishing this moment
that her and I get to do this.
I do think that just anyone in general,
they take out all of their frustrations
on the people they love most.
-I think you're under enormous pressure.
-I feel an immense amount of love.
-Maybe we should take it as you love us.
-Are you joking?
I love you all. I swear.
[both laugh]
-I believe it.
-You're my best friends.
-Hello.
-[Alix] Oh, Mom's here.
-Mom!
-[TJ] Hey!
-What's up? That's my--
-[Thomas] Todd!
-[Alisa] Hello!
-[Alix] Oh, my gosh.
-Look at you guys. Like the Easter Bunny.
-[Alisa] Ooh!
-[TJ] They're matching.
-In your pink and purple.
Hello.
-Hello.
-[Ashley] Hi, you look so pretty.
-So do you.
-Our spring chickens are here.
Let's get drinks.
-[Todd] Yes.
-[Ashley] Yeah, let's get a drink.
[TJ] Todd, you gotta try
the house specialty.
-[Todd] I do.
-[TJ] At least one.
I do. Hold on. But, Thomas, this is the…
This is the Thomas Den.
-But in…
-[Thomas laughs] Yeah.
[Todd] Palm Beach.
-[Thomas] Yep.
-You brought all your dinosaurs here?
[laughing]
[Alix] Want to see our dance
we learned last night?
[Izabel laughing]
Alix was like, "Do you think
we can make a twerking video?"
We're like, "No."
If you twerk like that…
That's the way I know how to do it.
-[lilting music playing]
-[all laughing]
Is that bad?
I wish I had an older sister
to twerk with when I was younger.
You just had your mother. [laughs]
[music fades]
-[TJ] Did you get a drink?
-[Todd] I did. Now come show me the pool.
[indistinct chatter]
-Todd is going to talk to him…
-[apprehensive music playing]
[Alix] What are they talking about?
About when he was mad at the dinner.
Hey, man, I wanted to, um…
You know, before dinner starts, man,
I know first and foremost,
when I first met Alisa, like,
I always heard all these things about you.
-She was saying bad shit?
-What's that?
-She was saying bad shit?
-Eh, well…
-Not the best. [chuckles]
-[Todd] Yeah, of course.
[Alix] Is Todd still mad?
[Alisa] I don't think so.
I think he just wanted to explain himself.
I don't know.
All these years,
you've been nothing but cool to me,
respectful to me, respectful to Alisa.
And given the dynamic,
at dinner, you made a comment about, like,
Alisa being, quote, like-- I don't know,
I can't 100% remember what you said.
-You called her a young piece of ass.
-I said something I'm not gonna repeat.
You would be a young piece of ass
on the Golden Bachelor. So…
What?
[apprehensive music playing]
-She's a--
-[Ashley] Alix, get out of there!
I just want to see.
You know, something about me,
if someone disrespects Alisa
or someone disrespects people I love,
like, I just turn off,
you know what I mean?
So I just wanted to get it off my chest
a little bit to say
I was pretty pissed off during that time.
Well, you should have
said something right there.
You know, you're right.
I probably-- I should have.
-Dad looks so serious.
-Does he?
So I wanted to kind of, like, get your
thoughts about what made you say that.
-Listen, sometimes I just say stupid shit.
-[Todd] Yeah. Yeah.
He gets a little jealous,
though, sometimes, right?
-Very.
-Yeah, he gets very jealous.
Honestly, TJ should have known better
because it was not an appropriate comment,
but we are just not
appropriate people sometimes.
-Obviously, I didn't mean anything by it.
-[Todd] I know.
Except for good stuff.
But I don't mean anything by it.
I would never want to disrespect you.
-[Todd] Yeah. Yeah.
-I apologize. I would not, you know.
-[TJ] It's all good.
-Toodles!
I need a dirty martini,
because you make them the best,
when you have a minute.
-[Todd] Can we hug it out? [laughs]
-Let's hug it out, bro.
-All right, I love you, dude.
-Love you.
[music crescendos, fades]
[Ashley] Who else
wants a dirty martini? Anyone?
-Todd's shaking.
-[Thomas] Me!
[Alisa] Those look beautiful.
[Todd] I'm giving TJ
the one with the floater.
-[Alisa] That's fine, but…
-[Todd laughs]
So Todd just yelled at me.
He just told me I'm inappropriate.
-[Ashley] Which we all-- [laughs]
-And I say bad things.
Nothing I didn't already know.
-[all laughing]
-[TJ] Thank you.
There was one with a floater on it.
I'm going to give it to you.
What? Floater? What is it?
It better not be blue cheese, though.
-Cheers. I love you.
-[Todd] Cheers.
-[Alix] Cheers.
-[Ashley] Happy…
-Penelope, we are so proud of you.
-[Todd] To Penelope.
-Cheers.
-You need a drink!
Smells like fish in here.
[Thomas] Oh, hey, Ashtin!
Oh! Hi, Thomas!
-[all] Hey!
-[Alisa] Ashtin!
[upbeat music playing]
[Alisa] Oh! Ashtin!
Everyone looks so good.
[Alisa] Do you want a martini?
-No, I'm still hungover from last night.
-I know. [laughs]
[Izabel] Ashtin-tini. Hi!
[Ashtin] Hi, Miss Winner Champion Girl.
So I flew in a little late.
I did a Rollacoaster cover shoot,
which is huge and so exciting.
It does kind of feel like
I'm, like, modeling.
I mean, yeah,
you're on the cover of a magazine.
[both laugh]
-[Sally] What's Teach saying?
-I don't know.
I haven't talked to him
in a few days, but…
-[Sally] Why?
-[Ashtin] I'm just, like, annoyed.
[Sally] He's not down?
-Yeah, he thinks it's, like, bad news.
-[lively dance music playing]
Oh.
[Ashtin] Alix did the cover last year.
So the fact that I get to do it this year
is just kind of crazy.
-[music fades]
-Oh, hi, chef.
-Ooh!
-Hi!
-We have roasted veggies and crostinis.
-[TJ] We should put this in front of Ash.
We have a yellowtail crudo with jalapeño.
-A yuzu ponzu, and daikon radish.
-All right, you guys are getting nothing.
[Alix] Ashtin, any updates?
-[TJ] On what?
-[Ashley] Hold on here.
-[TJ] Is there a boy in your life?
-[Ashtin] No, I had a shoot yesterday.
-[Todd] Ah, how'd it go? Yeah?
-Good.
I was kind of really anxious
in the beginning,
but the photographer was really awesome,
and I think
the photos came out really well.
-Okay. That was yesterday?
-[Ashtin] Yes.
-[Alisa] You look great.
-[poignant, pensive music playing]
[Ashtin] It is frustrating because my dad
would never miss something with Alix.
There's two sides of my dad.
There's the serious work dad
who can be prepared
and do all this and be great.
And then there's the other side of him
that will just shrug
and laugh something off and not care.
And I feel like I've been getting
more of that side of him.
I want to have work dad and,
you know, feel like I'm really…
being professional and appreciated.
[music fades]
[Alix] Ashtin, do you wanna tell everyone
how you almost leaked my brand?
-It wasn't a big deal.
-[tense music playing]
-I also--
-That is a big deal.
I swear you have,
like, posted the same thing.
-No, I haven't.
-[TJ] Can I see?
-It was one second me pumping lotion.
-If I posted that, someone would see it.
I-- Everyone knows it's green.
They've gotten that hint.
It was just you pumping--
You didn't talk about it?
-Yeah. Thank you so much.
-If you got no views, people would know.
I know I can overreact at times,
but this launch is going to be
a very defining point in my career.
I've worked my ass off on this,
and the only thing Ashtin's worked hard at
is doing her weird
fucking poses on Instagram.
My emotions are at peak high right now
because I'm just nervous,
I'm anxious, I'm on edge.
I want everything to go smoothly.
And, like, I know
something's gonna go wrong.
And so, like, if my family
cannot be the ones making it go wrong,
that would be great.
-[music stops]
-So I'm crazy?
-[Alisa] I didn't say you're crazy.
-No one's on my side.
[Ashtin] Well, I'm sorry.
-I'm on your side. I believe you.
-I just don't think you need to be so mad.
-[Penelope] Guys…
-But…
Like, you can just be like,
um, "Delete that."
-I did.
-Instead of screaming at me.
-Can you say you're sorry?
-I just said it.
-But mean it?
-I'm sorry.
-Are you?
-Yes.
Okay.
When Alix yells at me,
then I can kind of understand
why Ashley was feeling so upset.
It was an honest mistake.
I wasn't actively being like,
"I'm going to post this bottle."
I'm like, "It's not that serious."
But to her,
it sometimes is that serious. [laughs]
If you actually got views,
people would, like, notice.
-All right, bitch.
-[Ashley laughs]
That's what I was saying!
No offense, Ashtin, but it doesn't matter
because she doesn't get views!
Hey! [laughs]
-[gasps] Oh!
-[all laughing and exclaiming]
[Ashtin] I just got here!
What is your problem?
-I already look like shit.
-[laughing]
I feel I'm going crazy, run it with me ♪
[lively electronic dance music playing]
Keep it "wow" ♪
Are you ready? Are we in the zone?
-Yeah, she seems in a good mood.
-She's in a great mood.
-[Alix] Mm-hm.
-[Penelope] I feel a lot of nerves.
When I'm in the actual arena,
I feel like I'm going to barf.
But we've worked so hard
to be even in Wellington.
I'm, like, nervous to show
because, like, my whole family is here.
And I don't want to,
like, let my pony down.
[Ashley] Thomas, what are you building?
-[Thomas] Jurassic Park.
-[Ashley] Jurassic Park?
-[Alix] Hi!
-Hi, guys.
[Alix] How are you doing?
-You look so pretty.
-Sweetie, I love your glasses.
[Ashley] You guys, we all look, like,
straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad.
-[Ashtin] How are you?
-Where is Penelope?
Okay, so Penelope is right here
coming around on the left.
[Alix] How has your guys' stay been?
It's been good.
We went to go look at some homes.
-Oh, really?
-Mm-hm.
So you guys are gonna
really move in together?
[inhales] We are.
What do you think about that?
Well… are you gonna break up again?
No.
Why, do you have a concern about that?
Well, your guys' track record
is not the best.
-My mom changes her mind a lot.
-[lively music playing]
-I don't understand her sometimes.
-We…
One day, she'll be like,
"I broke up with Todd again."
-Yeah.
-And I'm like, "Why?"
And she's like, "I don't know."
And I'm like, "Okay, well…"
She's like, "Because I love him."
Then I'm like, "Mom, what's going on?"
Now she promises it's the last time
and that they're staying together.
And I would love that so much.
We'll see how this goes.
We might have to lock them
in the house together. [laughs]
They'll kill each other
if we lock them in the house together.
Every relationship
goes through tough times.
Then you work on things.
Mm-hm. What are you gonna work on?
I'm gonna work on just ensuring
that she feels like she's secure.
And taken care of.
So, that's what I'll work on.
Did you steal her purse back
when you guys broke up?
-She told you that?
-[mischievous music playing]
-What did she say?
-[laughs]
You came in like a bandit and stole it.
It was just one of those fights.
I can't believe she told you that.
-[laughs]
-[chuckles] I know everything.
But there'll be no purse stealing anymore.
There'll be nothing else going on.
That bag story is so overblown.
Three days before we broke up,
I bought Alisa a bag.
I was like, "F this."
And I went up to the room
and I packed all my stuff,
and I took the bag.
I also took my protein powder.
-Does that count? [laughs]
-[music fades]
-I'm gonna keep an eye out.
-Yeah.
-No, it'll be good. I'm… I'm excited.
-[Alix clears throat]
Do I have your blessing?
Todd…
-Of course you have my blessing.
-I do?
-Love you.
-Love you too.
You told Alix that I took your purse
when we broke up?
-I told everybody.
-[both laughing]
[Alix] She told me
that you Venmo-requested her too.
[Alisa laughs]
Into the corner and out of the corner
is where you need to keep him going, okay?
Yeah.
[Shannon] Have fun, relax, good luck.
You got this.
[Ashley] Okay, everybody,
Penelope's on. Lock in.
-Say a prayer.
-[lively dance music playing]
[Alisa] I get so nervous.
-Back up and hit the road… ♪
-[Shannon] Gallop! Gallop!

[Shannon] Penelope, go forward

Do they get ribbons right now?
-[Shannon] For this, yes.
-[Ashley] Okay.
I get so nervous
watching Penelope compete.
Like, the whole time I hold my breath.
But she's so good.
No one in our family is really athletic.
So it's really impressive to just see her
go out there, and she always kills it.
-Where do you wanna go? ♪
-[music fades]
-[TJ] What do you think? How'd you do?
-I don't know.
-[TJ] You feel good?
-Yeah.
-Guess what?
-What?
-What'd they get?
-7th and 8th out of 18.
-[TJ] Oh!
-Oh, Penelope!
-Penelope! Congratulations!
-[upbeat music playing]
-[TJ] Let's go eat breakfast!
-Penelope, I'm so proud of you.
That's awesome, P.
You're mad?
-You upset? You did so well.
-There's no need to be a sad snail.
I'm not sad.
Do you want me to kick you in your shin?
Then you'll be sad.
[Alisa and Ashtin laughing]
[Alisa] Okay.
I feel like I could have done better.
I put extra pressure on myself.
But I'm still very proud.
And, like, if you're proud of how you did
and you're proud of your pony,
that's enough.
-[music fades]
-[TJ] What are we doing now?
[Alix] Going to the beach.
[Todd] Let's go have some fun.
-[lively dance music playing]
-It's a new wave, keep it cool… ♪
My hair is a disaster.

[Ashley] Ashtin, wanna go for a walk?
-[Ashtin] Yes.
-Let's go.
-[Todd] Thomas, go long!
-Yes.
Go short.
-No, I'm just kidding.
-Just throw it to him right there.
-[Todd] There you go. No! [laughs]
-[Alisa] Go short. No!
[Ashtin] How was your conversation
with Alix the other day?
[Ashley] It was really good.
-And I feel good about it.
-[Ashtin] That's good.
I just feel like sometimes
she speaks to us in ways that are like…
I don't know,
like I don't treat her like that.
-[Ashtin] Yeah.
-[Ashley] Right?
And I think she sometimes, like…
forgets… [laughs]
…that she can be a little controlling.
Yeah. I think it went really productive.
How are you doing with,
like, your life and your career?
[Ashtin] I mean, I know I have
all these opportunities because of her,
but I like trying to create
my own path in this career.
-I'm not--
-In the world.
-Yeah.
-Which you're allowed to do, Ashtin.
-Like, it's your life.
-I know.
[Alix] Ashtin seems like
she's feeling a lot better
in terms of, like,
her work and what she wants.
-[TJ] She goes hot and cold.
-[Alix] I just think sometimes she's not…
as proactive as she could be.
She just does a lot of, like…
-"I want to do this." But I'm like…
-She's very different than the two of you.
What are you gonna do
to make that happen?
-Right. I hear you on that.
-You can want.
-You need to take action to get it done.
-Right. She does.
I don't think Ashtin is working
to her full potential right now.
-Sometimes I feel like she needs, like…
-[pensive music playing]
A knock on the head
and someone to wake her up.
We call her "turtle" for a reason.
She's so slow.
Like, I would drive us to high school
in the morning and it's like,
"We're late. Like, let's go."
And she's, like,
walking out the door so slow.
I'm like-- She, like, never--
I feel like never has a fire under her.
I'm like, "Does anything get you, like,
just amped up?"
[music fades]
It drives me crazy.
[TJ] I feel like we're like 60%
of the way there with her
in terms of what she wants to do,
what she likes to do, what she's good at.
Um, she second-guesses herself
a lot, I think.
But do you think you'll help her?
[TJ] I try, but I don't know
that we see eye to eye on a lot of things.
So I'm not so sure.
Sometimes I just feel like Dad
has too many opinions on my life.
-And I'm like, "Just leave me alone."
-[poignant pop music playing]
I'm just starting to feel like
my dad isn't taking me seriously.
You know, as a manager,
he's supposed to support my ideas
and what I want.
And, you know, he manages both Alix and I.
Alix has a lot going on
with the launch of Reale Actives,
but it really just feels like
he is only focused on her
and has kind of forgotten about me.
I've got the feeling
That I'm running under water… ♪
It's hard to feel like you're being
overlooked professionally,
but I'm also
being overlooked by my father.
[TJ] She always says
I don't see her vision,
which I don't see a path
to pursuing something for the love of it
without having it make money.
Maybe it is time for me
to look at other managers
and find someone who's gonna
prioritize me and take me seriously.
