[VIDEO CALL LINE RINGING]
So, lady, are you
working on anything new?
Did I make that sound casual
and not like, "You better be"?
[CHUCKLES] Well, um, no, I I
I am writing, but not not really.
I don't know, I'm trying something new,
but it's not memoir, it's fiction.
Ooh, fiction!
Please, don't don't get too excited.
It's barely even like
a zygote of a thing,
so I don't wanna jinx it.
Message received, but as long
as you're exploring new genres,
"romantasy" is very hot right now.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Have you ever thought about
fairies and sea monsters getting it on?
- Amanda.
- "Sex and the Cauldron"?
- Now I have a title.
- [LAUGHING] Okay.
I've got speaking requests.
I know you don't like
being an Avon lady
- Here you go.
- for your books,
but it is literally my job, so
"Ding-dong!" I'm listening.
Google would love to fly you out
for an employee event in Palo Alto,
and South by Southwest in Austin
would love to host you
for a one-on-one interview
with maybe someone you admire?
And some memoirist panel
in Williamsburg, Virginia
reached out, but I don't know
who they are, so who cares?
Vir Virginia? Hmm.
Williamsburg, Virginia.
Um, yeah, I'd consider that one.
Sorry. Did my Wi-Fi cut out?
Did you not hear the other
more seductive destinations?
Why, what's wrong with Virginia?
Well, I guess we're going to find out.
["THE GUITAR MAN" BY BREAD PLAYING]
Hello?! You're asleep?
This is our soft
opening, so open your top
and open your eyes,
Ripped Van Winkle.
Everything okay?
You need anything?
- Nope, we're all good!
- Whoo!
- Wonderful.
- Alright then.
[CARRIE] I'm going to Virginia next week
for a writer's conference.
And since I'm only gonna
be an hour from Norfolk,
why not breeze over for a casual lunch
with Aidan before I fly home?
- That is so romantic!
- [MIRANDA] Yeah!
I think I read that fairy tale.
The one with the girl
who gets on a plane
to have a sandwich with the boyfriend
- she can't call on the phone?
- [SEEMA CHUCKLES]
Alright, settle down, Sisters Grimm.
Just lunch? Why don't you stay?
I don't wanna stay.
I don't wanna make him
feel like I'm invading
his space or whatever.
I don't no farmhouse,
no boys, no pressure.
- Just lunch. Easy-breezy.
- [CHARLOTTE SIGHS]
Where is everybody?
Are people scared of carbs again?
- Is body negativity back?
- [CARRIE] I love this turnout.
It's chic and exclusive,
and I am having the time of my life.
Me too. It's gorgeous in here.
And gorgeous out there.
Yeah, cute, but not hung
enough to stop traffic.
Ugh, where's Giuseppe when I need him?
Shove a baguette down
there if you need to!
And move around. Push the bread!
Push the bread! Look alive!
You're Hot Fellas, not Dead Fellas.
Well, I have been pushing
the bread since I got here,
and it is delicious.
- [CHARLOTTE LAUGHING]
- Mm, yes.
So, I was thinking
since it's an overnight,
why doesn't one of you overworked girls
take a trip with me
down south? It'll be fun.
And if one of us comes with you,
then it won't seem like
you're expecting to stay.
- [CLICKING TONGUE]
- [MIRANDA] Sorry, but I'm already
flying to Helsinki
next week for a snack.
- [SEEMA LAUGHING]
- [MIRANDA] I can't.
I have a media training seminar at work.
- But I will cat-sit.
- Thank you.
And I have TEFAF, The European
Fine Art Foundation all week.
I know that sounds like
a lie, but it isn't.
Seema?
Delightful little trip to Williamsburg?
- [MIRANDA CHUCKLES]
- You and me?
Sweetie, I won't even travel
to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Oh, boo. Tomato, tomato.
- Go right in there.
- Oh!
Anything you want,
right up there, on me.
Char, I thought I told you to
make sure LTW was here today.
I need all of her "Upper East
Side momfluencer" bullshit.
Hey! I'm a momfluencer, too.
Last week, I saw Kennedy Tyler
wearing a knockoff of an outfit
that I wore to a
parent-teacher conference.
Alright, enough with
the "Who Wore it Best."
Just text Lisa.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Ooh.
- Something wrong?
It's very odd. It's
Aidan's wife calling.
Ex. Ex-wife.
- You said wife.
- Well, whoever she is,
why is she calling me?
I'm gonna take this outside.
- [MOMS CHATTERING]
- Congratulations, Anthony!
Hallelujah, my bread has risen!
- [CARRIE] Hello?
- [KATHY] [ON PHONE] Hi, Carrie.
Hi, Kathy. Is is everyone alright?
Oh, God, yes! Sorry.
Uh, I didn't mean to
alarm you. Everyone's fine.
- Oh.
- [KATHY] Aidan said you were coming down.
- Yeah.
- [KATHY SIGHING]
Oh, God. [CHUCKLING] This is, um
so uncomfortable, um
Ah, I have a really
awkward favor to ask you.
Is it "don't come"?
[LAUGHING] Honestly, I feel like
that might somehow be less
awkward than what I'm about to say.
- Um, okay, uh
- Oh. [CHUCKLES]
Ugh, okay, here it goes. I
was, uh, hoping wondering
if, uh
do you think you could bring
some Adderall for Wyatt?
You want me to bring
Adderall down to Virginia?
Trust me, [SIGHS] I
if I hadn't exhausted
every other possible
avenue, I would never ask.
There's a nationwide shortage
and I can't get my hands on it.
Well, then how am I gonna
get my hands on it?
I was just thinking, you
know, you're in New York,
you're well-connected.
Yeah, to restaurants and sample sales.
Unless Prada makes Adderall.
[CHARLOTTE CHUCKLING]
What did she want?
Aidan's ex just called her.
Okay, hold on to your brioche, ladies.
She asked me to score some
New York Adderall for Wyatt.
Apparently, they're
fresh out in Virginia.
I mean, who do I look like, Scarface?
It's true. Practically every mom I know
is trying to get ADHD meds.
[LISA] Shit is rough out here.
Parents are bartering in
the playground during pickup
like it's D.C. in the '80s.
- It's insane that she asked that.
- [CARRIE] Oh, I know.
It's totally insane. So
now, where am I gonna get
30 milligrams of extended release?
She will settle for short-acting.
- Give me your phone.
- [CARRIE] Hm?
[CHARLOTTE] Hi, ladies.
[ALEXIS AND VERONICA] Hi!
Veronica, quick question.
Is Allegra still on Adderall?
What do you need? I'm
practically a CVS at this point.
Great. I need 30
milligrams, extended release.
Yeah, I've only got short-acting.
Alexis, does Benjamin have
any XRs he can part with?
I'm texting his nanny as we speak.
Charlotte, I'll leave a
package with your doorman.
We gotta have each
other's backs out here.
[CHARLOTTE] Thank you both so much.
It's a pleasure doing business with you.
[PATRONS CHATTERING]
Okay, Griselda!
[CARRIE] Well! Well, well, well.
Art expert, momfluencer, drug kingpin.
What can't she do?
- [PERFORMER SINGING ON MONITOR]
- Hi.
My friend's friend opened a bread store,
so that's all we eat now.
Bomboloni or croissant?
Croissant.
I've got news,
and croissants feel like a celebration.
Oh, great! Tell me, hot date?
Much better.
I got kind of an interesting
phone call while you were out.
It was Steve McQueen's producer
- [GASPS]
- offering me his next doc.
Oh, my God! That's fantastic! Grace!
So, you'll leave right from this project
and go work with an Academy
Award-winning director.
How amazing!
Well, they they
want me available now.
There's a lot of archival research.
Wait, so you're just
gonna leave me halfway
through the project?
I'm not leaving you.
This isn't personal.
It feels like an opportunity
I'd be foolish to pass up.
So, I I put together a short list
of some great editors who could step in.
Perfect. Send that list to McQueen.
Lisa I think I have to take it.
No, no, you don't have to take it.
You're choosing to.
And why did you choose the croissant?
Because this is not a celebration.
It is a huge setback for me,
and I'm more than a little annoyed.
I know the timing isn't ideal.
Oh, it's worse than ideal.
[SIGHS] And it is personal.
We have been working on
this project for eight years.
Yes, and it was supposed
to only take one.
But I stayed with it because
I love it, and I love you.
Well, it took longer oh, God
because I have children.
And I don't. My work is my life.
Just think about it a little longer?
For me.
We've been together for eight years.
[SOFT MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]
They wanna know my interest by Friday.
I'm interested. Very.
Wow.
Excuse me. I need a minute.
I picked the croissant 'cause
I thought you'd be happy for me.
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
[EESHA] Oh. Lisa!
How's the rough cut
of the first episode?
Are we any closer to Michelle Obama?
- Yes, we can.
- Great. Alright.
[EMPLOYEE] Yeah, you'll
have to come see it.
- [LELA] Oh, my God, I'm tired.
- What are they doing?
- [CHARLOTTE] Good morning, ladies!
- [ALL GROAN]
Is it a new day? I guess
I should have gone home
- and changed.
- Coffee!
Wait, I was with you
guys till 9:00 last night.
- You went out after that?
- Yes! I'm dead.
But I sold the Scott Flax
sculpture at the after-party.
Oh, and I sold that huge ugly acrylic
at the after-after-party.
Oh, also, I hit on this
Dutch guy named Rolf.
- Or a Rolf guy named Dutch.
- [ALL CHUCKLE]
- All that happened after I left?
- [LELA] Yeah!
That's why we're constantly begging you
to not poop the party, babe.
We hate it when you miss out.
And Fun Charlotte is so fun.
- And always has Advil in her purse?
- Ooh.
- [SIGHS] Yes, I have.
- [LAUGHTER]
You don't think this is overkill?
Miranda, she's my only child.
Did I ever tell you that Brady
had too many trucks or Legos?
Well, maybe you should have,
because I can still feel
some of them embedded in
the bottoms of my feet.
Oh!
Madam, your key.
- Oh!
- Guard it with your life.
You know, the other day
I was giving Adam a key
so he could get into the garden,
and I realized Aidan doesn't have a key.
Here, hand me that long part there.
Oh.
So, at lunch,
I'm going to tell him that I
came all that way to see him
to give him a key.
- Aw.
- A key to our house.
- Oh!
- Aw! Isn't that cute?
- That is downright adorable.
- Ah.
And speaking of adorable
plans, I asked Joy,
the BBC producer I like, out.
Ooh, on a date?
Uh, not a date yet.
- Mm.
- Happy hour.
My cover story is that I want
some on-camera coaching tips.
I'm trying to figure
out if she likes me too.
Well, do you really
have to play those games?
I don't know.
Maybe I should just hop on a plane
and surprise her with a key to a house
she's already been in twice.
It's his house.
And can I please get a cease-and-desist
on the Aidan wisecracks? This is
[SCOFFS] This is hard.
You know, I'm trying to
I'm, like, trying to figure it out.
Sorry. I thought I
was being funny "ha-ha"
but I think I'm coming
off funny "asshole."
- Hey, Shoe. You're getting a kitty condo.
- [SHOE MEOWS]
My career is suffering
because I am a wife and a mom.
- You are so dramatic.
- I'm sorry, but it's true.
I have to rush home to make
soup while they are out partying
and selling paintings at
all the hot clubs all night.
- What clubs?
- Giuseppe, this is a good question,
but I don't even know the answer
because I'm too busy here being "Mom"!
No, you don't have to
be here every night.
Stop exaggerating.
"Mom, where's my clean laundry?
Mom, are you gonna make
my favorite green beans?"
- [ROCK CHUCKLES]
- "Mom, buy vegan dog food!"
"Mom, should I wear more deodorant?"
The answer is yes.
At the end of the day,
the girls that I work with
just see me as a boring mom
who wants to get home to her family.
I get it, honey. The Young Turks at work
look at me like I'm
SpongeBob Square Partner
who just does my job, goes
home, and never parties.
Yeah, 'cause that's who you are.
No, I'm not. I'm so much more.
- Are you?
- [CHARLOTTE] Yes, he is!
And so am I!
Charlotte, I have a simple solution.
Why don't you join them?
Fight fire with fire.
[HARRY] That's a great idea.
I could join you, babe.
Bank a couple of Instagram
shots of me at da club.
Dad, what are you going
to wear at "da club"?
Your high-waisted mom jeans?
You're right. I need "da club" clothes.
- I can take you shopping.
- You?
What? Should I ask LTW if she
can take care of this, too?
- Is she available?
- [GIUSEPPE] Why not ask Carrie?
Yes! Yes, she's the one. Carrie is cool.
[IN ITALIAN ACCENT] Great
idea. Thank you, Giuseppe.
Oh, of course, he's helpful
to everybody else's business but mine.
Mm-mm, trouble in paradise?
Outta nowhere, this one refuses
to put on the Hot Fellas uniform.
So, at most, I get three,
four customers a day,
and two of them usually
come in to take a shit
- and don't buy shit.
- Alright.
Tony, come on. I did
my time, it's enough.
I'm a poet. I don't want to
be commodified or objectified.
Right on, G!
What's the big deal, G?
It's a denim onesie. You're
not Coco in Fame.
I don't get this reference. Do you?
I got it.
[PLUCKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Elliot. You summoned?
Liebchen! [CHUCKLES] Sit down.
- I wanna talk to you.
- Do I have to sit?
If it's bad news, I
prefer a running start.
[LAUGHING] I think it's fantastic news.
I, Elliot Poust, am retiring.
Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.
- But don't we have a plan?
Aren't I supposed to buy
you out in a few years
and take over? What happened to that?
Well, that can still work.
Are are you prepared
to make me an offer?
No, because I didn't realize
I'd have to make one so soon.
How can you retire? Elliot!
You're in your prime.
[LAUGHING] I'm 90.
What? No.
You're you're not that old.
I am. My high-school crush was Jesus.
I thought you were, like, 70.
That's because I'm gay.
A gay 90 is a straight 70.
Well, you can't trick us
straight people like that.
Oh, no. Don't worry, Seema.
You know I would not leave
without taking care of you.
I am selling my shares of
the company to Ryan Serhant.
- Pardon me?
- He'll take over
and become the primary
controlling partner.
You should have spoken to me
before making such a monumental
decision about our business.
This isn't the future
I envision for myself.
Surprise!
- Hi, Ryan.
- [RYAN] Elliot.
What's going on? I thought
this was gonna be a party.
I brought hats.
It seems we've hit a bit of a snag.
Well, I have about a million sick days
and I'm gonna take
them starting right now.
Just take some time to think
about this little merger
and acquisition while
floating in a pool somewhere.
[ELLIOT STAMMERING] I

- I really like her.
- Me too.
[HARRY] Geez, so many buttons.
[CARRIE] Harry, when I told
you I had stuff to do today,
you said, and I quote,
"This will take 20 minutes at most.
- Men are decisive."
- [HARRY SCOFFS]
[SIGHS] These are so stiff,
they make me walk like Robocop.
Here. I'm a drug dealer.
- That's how cool I am now.
- Thanks, but that's your wife.
Now, let's buy those and
go before he comes back
- and makes you buy a matching bucket hat.
- [HARRY] Done.
I love this! "Harry
and Carrie go shopping."
- [CARRIE CHUCKLES]
- Should we start a podcast?
[PHONE RINGING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING IN STORE]
[SOFTLY SQUEALS]
Hi. I'm about to commit hari-kari.
- What are you up to?
- Right there with you.
Elliot sold the company
out from under me.
[HARRY] These button
flies are a challenge!
Without even talking to me first.
No, that's awful!
No worries. I'll get 'em.
Seema, what can I do?
Whatever you need, I'm there.
Well, I'm on an impromptu
vacation trying to figure out
whether or not to quit my job.
So, what time do we leave for Virginia?
[EASYGOING MUSIC PLAYING]
- Am I blocking you?
- Not parking.
- Just here to pick someone up.
- Oh, is it me?
No, the person who lives here.
Carrie?
Pretty sure that T-shirt's
copyright infringement.
Burger King already tried to
sue me when I knocked it off.
Thankfully, my lawyer, Ronald McDonald,
was a monster in court.
I'm Adam.
I'm also known as "New
York's plant Picasso"
by the readers of Vogue.com.
I'm Seema, also known as
Carrie's Virginia plus-one.
Ah, Virginia. Enjoy the dogwoods.
Oh, I'm not a nature girl.
I will be enjoying the cocktails.
Your car is brown.
A Mercedes S-class sedan. I like it.
And this is my nephew, Jamie.
A gentleman with good taste.
[FRONT DOOR OPENS]
Where's your steamer trunk?
Or did you ship it ahead?
I've got two outfits in my carry-on,
a lip gloss and a laptop in my purse.
I'm traveling light, also
known as "easy-breezy."
Okay, Carrie Golightly.
Have fun, Adam. Don't lose my Shoe.
Oh, don't worry. I've never met a
kitty I couldn't bend to my will.
- Jamie, here, take this.
- [JAMIE] Should I put it with the others?
- That's your gardener?
- Mm-hmm.
[WHISPERING] He's hot!
Oh, well!
Maybe after you've
been charmed down South,
he can charm you up north.
I don't have a garden and I
don't do dirt under fingernails.
Let him find a hippie
vegan to plant trees with.
I like a man who owns shirts
with sleeves and no writing on them.
- Noted.
- But I will say,
it takes a confident man to
wear a "Home of the Whopper" tee.
[CARRIE] Bye!
- [ADAM] Bye, have fun.
- Seat belt.
- [INTERCOM DINGS]
- We cannot pull away from the gate
until everyone is seated.
[OVER PA] Again, we cannot
pull away from the gate
until everyone is seated.
Hey, human-shield me while
I, uh, slide this baggie of
[WHISPERING] Adderall outta my bra.
What? You could've just
put it in a Tylenol bottle.
It's not like they're
doing chemistry at the TSA.
So, how you feeling about the
job situation this morning?
I'm feeling like I don't
need to talk about it.
What I need is distance
and some comforting
Southern fried chicken.
Mm.
Hi. We talked about you
bringing me a tequila soda?
I'm on vacation and it's an emergency.
Vomiting is an emergency.
Miss Tequila can wait until we've
reached our cruising altitude, 'kay?
Why is it gay men never do for me
what they say they're gonna do for me?
- I'm glad you're getting some distance.
- [INTERCOM DINGS]
[ATTENDANT] Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats
- Maybe I do need to talk.
- Hmm.
Let's revisit it in the air
[ATTENDANT] Thank you.
- drunk.
- [SEAT BELT CLICKS]
[METAL CLANGING]
[HERBERT] Sweetheart!
They're dead already. Stand down.
I'm just working some shit out.
[CLANGING CONTINUES]
Grace took the job, leaves tomorrow,
and left me high and dry, and furious!
Still, I don't think it's worth ruining
a perfectly good pot of mashed potatoes.
They're not ruined.
They're just extra smooth.
It doesn't sound like Grace.
I mean, why would she leave you and PBS
to go work on another
project? I don't get it.
Neither do I. And so what
if it's Steve McQueen and his new doc?
- [LOUD MASHING CONTINUES]
- Steve McQueen?
- Yeah.
- Steve McQueen
the Oscar-winning genius filmmaker
whom we worship?
Steve McQueen! Now, I get it.
I can use this on people, too.
Look, I know I'm
risking death by mashing,
but I feel the need to inject
a little bit of reality here.
You want reality?
Reality is, I have a
very aggressive timeline
and no editor. How's that reality?
Baby when you stopped working
on your film full-time to have Gabby,
Grace was always there, waiting.
One year on, one year off. Eight off.
Willing to roll with whatever
worked best for you in your life?
Well, this is about Grace's life.
And maybe it's time to
start thinking a little bit
about what works best for her.
[GLASS SLAMS DOWN]
[LOUD MASHING RESUMES]
- Now, after all that, you are still mad at Grace?
- No.
This is not Grace. Now, I'm mad at you.
- [PIANO LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
And they're both staring at me
as if this is the best
job opportunity ever.
And it is for someone.
But I just don't wanna
be in another situation
where I'm some man's number two.
Everyone knows what
you do with number twos.
You flush 'em immediately.
[CHUCKLES] Well, honestly,
sometimes number two's
a pretty good ranking.
I'm my guy's number four.
Is that true?
- Wow, it kind of is.
- No.
I think Aidan's trying really
hard to make this all work.
Whereas Elliot's totally
dismissive of what I've done
for the last 20 years.
You know what? I've
just made a decision.
I'm done. Out. I'm not bowing down.
I will start my own
place. The Patel Group.
"The Patel Group." Wow,
that came pretty fast.
No, I've had it in my head for years.
- [LAUGHING] Oh.
- Carrie? Carrie, hi.
I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm Mike.
I do PR for the festival.
I trust both your rooms are okay?
- [BOTH] Yes.
- Okay, good.
I I just wanted to tell
you, you were amazing today.
Oh, thank you. I had a wonderful time.
Well, everyone in the
room was captivated.
- [CARRIE CHUCKLES]
- Sidebar, I love your shoes.
- Oh! Thank you.
- I also manage this restaurant,
in case y'all two ladies
need anything at all.
Oh my goodness. Mike,
you're just too sweet.
You're gonna you're gonna ruin
my appetite for the sweet potato pie.
And is "Mama's homestyle fried chicken"
as yummy as it sounds?
May I? Um, I think someone gave you
[SPEAKING LOUDLY] the old menu!
We recently changed
our fare to somethin'
a little more modern, so [CHUCKLES]
But you do still have the chicken?
Yes, but it is now air-fried
with little or no oil
and comes with a okra mousse
topped with a succotash foam.
Mama went heart-healthy. [GAGS]
I'll go get you new menus. [CHUCKLES]
Cassandra, I told you a million times,
you have to print out the new ones.
Why can no gay man ever give
you what you're expecting?
This is the best mineral water
I've ever had in the city.
So, is happy hour still
happy when one's not drinking?
Yes. Because of the mixed nuts.
So, you want to know if you
were the dog's dinner on the BBC?
No! I want some helpful tips
from someone who is a broadcast expert.
We expecting another, then?
- Was I the dog's dinner?
- Of course not.
- You were good.
- Really?
Because I haven't been
asked to be on the air again,
and, well, I'm used
to excelling at things.
Oh, such a shy, withdrawn woman.
So, if you were gonna grade me,
what grade would I get?
- An A.
- Thank you!
But of course that's an "A"
marked on a curve for beginners.
Well, I don't wanna
be graded on a curve.
What can I do to improve?
- Seriously?
- Mm!
Breathe.
"Breathe"?
You mean, do the thing that comes
automatically to me, otherwise I die?
When you were on
camera, the words started
to become one long run-on sentence.
- Huh.
- So, when that happens, you have to stop,
take a moment and breathe.
- Hmm.
- But with intention.
Be conscious of the breath. Like this.
So, when you see me breathing
[BREATHING SLOWLY]
I'm not panting per se,
but but it's deliberate.
Oh.
[SOFT, SULTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
Feel that?
I can feel that.
Now, you try.
And, breathe.
Not too fast. Not too slow.
Measured. With purpose.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Yeah, like that.
Now, imagine doing that
while also talking to a
news camera about famine.
[MIRANDA CHUCKLES]
- [LOUD CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ROLF] Charlotte,
I love the show very much.
Oh, I have two pieces by Wasted Rita
and one by A'Driane Nieves.
I think you'd love them, Rolf.
Yeah, I've seen these pieces today.
Interesting. Tell me more.
Hey, y'all! This girl
from Dharma Gallery
just pinged me the location
for their secret after-party.
- Who's going?
- [GROUP CHEERING]
- After-party? - Don't
make that face, honey.
It's the boring, senior partner face.
It's who I am. You heard the kids.
You think I don't wanna leave?
I keep picturing my slippers at home.
But I am this close to making
a sale to that Dutch guy.
We can leave after the after-party.
Okay, well, I gotta make a
trip to the little boys' room
if we're gonna continue
this noisy marathon.
Okay. I'll meet you at
the host stand, okay?
Are are you gonna go?
I'm trying, but my jeans won't unbend.
- Oh.
- Okay, no
- Okay, I got it.
- Alright.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
Oh! Ah!
[LOUD CLUB MUSIC CONTINUES]
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. [GRUNTING]
Oh, come on!
Geez, buttons, aye!
[EXHALES SHARPLY] Why so many?
[GRUNTING] Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, oh, fu
Oh. [SIGHS] Fuck.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
[GROANING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[KAI] Obviously, we're gonna
take cars. It's kinda far.
- [CHARLOTTE] Do you think so?
- Yeah.
- Oh, hey.
- Here's an interesting twist.
I just pissed myself.
I went from SpongeBob SquarePants
to SpongeBob Wet-Pants.
- What?!
- It's been a while since I had four drinks.
It just it came on so
quick and I hadn't factored in
the Japanese denim button matrix.
- Oh, my poor honey. Let's get you home.
- Absolutely not.
You go sell that Dutch guy a painting.
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure, I'm sure.
Here, just let's get a couple of shots
- for the 'gram before you go.
- Okay.
- Right over here.
- Okay.
- Oh, yes. Very cool.
- [CAMERA CLICKING]
Here.
Oh, it's a good thing
these babies are so dark.
You can't tell that they're soaked.
- You go, you go.
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]
The restaurant's on Route One.
I mean, you sure you don't
want me to pick you up?
Oh, fiddle-dee-dee.
That's that's
Southern for "no," right?
- I say it all the time.
- [CHUCKLES]
No, no, it's okay. Um, I'm renting a car
and Seema and I are
very much looking forward
to the scenic Virginia drive.
And besides, you know,
you're already driving
all the way from your farm into Norfolk.
It's only 20 minutes from the house.
Really? It's that close?
[AIDAN] Right down the road.
Okay, well
we'll we'll see you for lunch.
I can't wait.
[CHUCKLES] Bye.
- [KNOCKING]
- Who is it?
- [SEEMA] Colonel Sanders.
- [CARRIE CHUCKLES]
It's not Mama's homestyle
Yet, I believe we can make it work.
Please, come in.
I know what I said about
starting my own firm.
And I was feeling it.
But
am I just being stupid?
It's a battle out there.
Do I wanna fight it?
At my age, do I really
wanna be starting over?
Well, if you concede, and
you decide to work with him,
you know, what would be
the hardest thing about it?
My name won't be on the company.
At least with Elliot, I felt
like it was a partnership.
In all the years I've
spent in this business,
building a reputation and
an enviable client list,
my name belongs up there.
And you know for sure it can't be?
You know what, Carrie? I
I don't know that. I
I'm I'm assuming.
Well, if you don't ask, you don't get.
- Hm.
- Can I tell you something?
- Mm-hmm. - It's kind
of along the same topic.
Um
You know, when I was
talking to Aidan just now,
I assumed he was gonna ask me to stay.
And then I would just say "No, no, no.
No, it's just it's just lunch."
Well, do you wanna stay?
Well, I don't know, but
why didn't he ask me to?
Do you think maybe you were so busy
being easy and breezy,
it didn't seem like you wanted to?
Maybe.
You don't ask, you don't get.
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
- [LOUD DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
I think I might be in love with Dutch.
His name is Rolf!
I felt his dick through his pants
the last time we went out,
and I almost came in
the middle of the bar.
But it's more than sex.
I have liked him since
last year's TEFAF.
And you're good with
guys! So, please help me.
Uh, oh, okay.
Well, uh, maybe stop "feeling
his dick through his pants,"
and just have a conversation.
There you are! This girl is such a riot.
The last time she got me drunk,
I blew two million bucks. Huh?
- [LAUGHING] He did.
- Okay, let's go, ladies.
I got the address to the
after-after-party, huh?
- Woo-hoo!
- The after-after party?
- Whoo!
- [PEOPLE CHEERING]
[ROLF] Hey, Warhol, another
round of drinks, 'kay?
And I hope the drinks
are better than your art.
- [LELA SIGHS]
- Lela, it's already 3:00 a.m.
I just don't know if I
can stay awake much longer.
Two espresso martinis!
And just keep 'em coming.
Game start! ♪

[KAI] My turn.
[SNORTING]
[CLUB GOER] Okay.
If I don't fuck Dutch tonight,
- I will die.
- [LAUGHING] You won't die.
You will get whatever the
girl version is of blue balls,
and then you'll go
home and you'll pass out
- on your bed in your clothes!
- Charlotte, I'm serious.
You need to help me. Find
out if he's interested.
- I literally need him!
- [ROLF] Hey.
[CHUCKLES] And I literally
need another drink.
[ALL LAUGHING]
- Would you like some party favors? Hm?
- [MOUTHING] Help me! Help me!
- No, thank you. No.
- You sure? It's good shit.
I just got it from the
girl that ran out of here.
I can never remember her
name, but she's fun as hell.
Her name is Lela.
- Hmm.
- And I have a
a very juicy piece of
information for you.
- Oh?
- Someone has a little crush on you.
Oh, yeah?
Someone who works at the gallery.
Oh, and is that someone here tonight?
Yes. Yes, she is.
And she really, really likes you.
- Mm! Stop!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What's happening now? I
thought you had a little crush.
I'm not talking about
me, you coked-up dummy!
I'm I'm a wife and a mother!
I'm talking about Lela, the fun one,
that you gave millions of dollars to!
She's not really my type.
Oh. [SIGHS]
Wives and moms need love too, babe.
No, no, I'm good. I'm I'm good.
Oh, my God.
Excuse me!
- [JACKHAMMER DRILLING LOUDLY]
- Oh.
[LOUD STREET NOISE]
[PEDESTRIAN] Nice tits.
- Oh, you're here early.
- [LISA] Yeah.
[GRACE] Well, I'm about to leave.
I put all the latest
cuts in today's bin.
Anything you need, feel free to call me.
Grace, I'm sorry.
I know I just said
"feel free to call me,"
but now I mean it.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
You know, of course I'm happy for you.
But [SIGHS] I think I'm scared.
You're the only editor
I've worked on this with.
And to be honest
I don't know if it's me or you
that makes it as good as it is.
Well, that's very generous of you.
But, Lisa, it's you.
[SCOFFS] Well, I'm not so sure.
[GRACE] I am.
It's your vision and drive to keep going
that makes this you.
It's waking up at 5:00
to get your work done
before getting your kids off to school.
It's your need to celebrate these women
by telling their stories.
You may no longer have me.
And that's a huge, huge loss.
- [LAUGHING]
- But, Lisa, you have you.
- You got this.
- I got this.
You got this.
I brought croissants.
[GRACE SIGHS]
- Okay, twist my arm.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [CLERK] Next customer in line.
- Oh.
- [CLERK] Hello.
- Hi.
And how are y'all doing today?
- Late. We're running late.
- Okay, no worries.
[GROANING] I have worries.
You're vibrating at
a really high energy.
It's making me nervous, and I
never get nervous about anything.
Mm, sorry, I woke up
jumpy this morning, I
I guess asking why
Aidan didn't invite me,
it just brought up stuff,
you know, stuff like, um, why am I here?
You know, who goes out of
state for a casual lunch?
And why did I eat
that complimentary
jalapeno cornbread biscuit?
- Okay.
- Ooh.
Miss Bradshaw, I see here your
driver's license is expired.
What? When?
May 2017. How is that even possible?
Well, uh, I travel with a passport
and, you know, I haven't
been carded in years.
Well, you are going to need
a new one, and it's too bad.
That is a very flattering photo.
- [CARRIE CHUCKLES]
- Here. I'll drive.
No worries.

Lieutenant Mortadella,
reporting for duty.
You came outta retirement for me?
Whatever he's selling, I want it.
- I do, too.
- Now, we got a business.
Inside!
[MUSIC ENDS]
Remember maps? Maps were so cool.
Wish I had a map now, to tell me
where I should be heading in my career.
- Hmm.
- I can argue both sides.
Can't the universe just send me a sign?
Speaking of signs, it's,
uh, it's 50 miles an hour.
I really don't wanna get
stopped by the police.
I hear you, Adderall Bra Express.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [CARRIE] Hmm.
- Ryan Serhant is calling.
- Oh.
What, you're not gonna
FaceTime while we're driving.
- I'm not?
- No, absolutely not.
No, me dead is not easy-breezy.
Here, there's a parking
lot. Pull over there.

- Charlotte?
- Oh, Alexis!
- Hi.
- [CHUCKLING] Hi.
You you caught me. Eyedrops, sorry.
Uh, late night in the gallery world.
Well, I need them, too.
I was up all night with the twins.
I might actually be
sleepwalking right now.
Well, I learned my lesson.
Late-night art hustling is just not me.
Are you kidding? You
have the coolest job.
In fact, I'm on the
way to pick up the kids,
but I wanted to swing
by and ask if Kasabian
had that A'Driane Nieves painting?
The one I saw in the
TEFAF preview last week?
Well, yes. Yes, we do.
- Are you interested?
- [ALEXIS] More than interested.
I have my checkbook, and I'd be thrilled
to give the commission to my cool
gallerina girlfriend, Charlotte.
Yay! Oh! God, that hurt.
- Oh.
- [CHARLOTTE] Um
- Let's go to the Kasabian room, okay?
- Great.
You don't happen to
have any Advil, do you?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
And?
He said "not possible" to add my name.
So, that's it. Take it or leave it.

- The [SCOFFS]
[GOLFER] I thought my
wife was a bad driver.
[QUIRKY MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, this is the
opposite of easy-breezy.
- Okay. Silver lining?
- Sure.
I was asking for a sign
and I got one. Literally.
"Don't back up." Why go backwards?
I've already been there
working for someone else.
Go forward. Invest in myself.
Well, that's pretty silvery.
- I like it.

I'm so sorry.
This is a lot of trouble
to go through for a lunch.
Yeah, it is. So, why not stay
for dinner too, and a light breakfast?
- You want me to stay over?
- Yeah.
Hey, Seema, Aidan asked me to stay over.
Fabulous. Uh, just
drop me at the airport.
I've got a big life to start
up back in New York City.
[CARRIE] Mm.
What
- Where's our luggage?
- [SEEMA] Oh, shit!
- It's still in the trunk of that rental.
- Oh, God.
So, listen.
I didn't get a chance to
tell the boys you were coming.
But it's it's okay that I'm here?
Yeah! Yes, but we got this thing now
where the night before,
we lay out what the next day's gonna be.
And you don't wanna just,
like, spring me on them.
Well, no. But yeah, kinda.
Understood.
So, um, should I just,
uh, sleep in a field
- standing up like a horse?
- [LAUGHING]
That's what they do, right?
Guest house. Neat as a pin.
And it's got the best
AC in the whole place.
So, I'll tell 'em as
soon as they wake up.
- That okay?
- Yeah.
Alright. I really appreciate it.
[FOOTSTEPS CRUNCHING ON GRAVEL]
Oh yeah, it's cows.
Cows sleep standing up.
But you don't have to.
Come on.
Oh! I almost forgot.
Uh, the Adderall that Kathy requested.
Mm-hmm.
Everything okay?
I'm just so glad you're here.
Hm. You have a funny way of showing it.
How's this?
Come on.
