Lowkey Trippin'
1
- Did Issa say something to you?
- No about what?
MOLLY CARTER: She just thinks
that I don't want to be happy.
I just think that it's funny
that she calls me "Old Molly"
when she's out there, right
now, doing old shit too.
(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYS)
I've never been in a relationship
long enough to have to
balance it in my life.
You are my main priority.
Give it up for Vince Staples!
Did you tell Nathan to
talk to Andrew about Vince?
Nathan reached out about the
block party and I needed help.
You deliberately went behind my back.
Because, Molly, you were willing
to let me fail over what?
Some random rule you made up?
You need to figure out your
shit and stop using people.
You are so miserable.
If things don't work out with Andrew,
- it's not gonna be because of me, girl.
- Fuck you!
ISSA DEE: Fuck me? I been
stopped fucking with you.

- Lil' momma, hey

Whoa, Kenny
Told lil' momma she
the butter on my rice
Told lil' momma
Um, can I add extra injera?
Aw, should I add the Solomon Tibbs?
- Or is that too much food?
- Add Tibbs!
Oh wait, hearin' it,
that's too much food.
Take off Tibbs.
Actually, put it back on. I'm so sorry.
Re Tibbs.

(SPEAKING CHINESE)
-
- (DOOR OPENS)
Yeah, um, see you in Mexico.
Hey, are you okay?
- I just saw Issa.
- Seriously?
That bitch ran away from
me like I was an actual job.
Really? Well, are you
gonna reach out to her?
I'm not gonna do
anything. It was her fault.
- ANDREW: Mm-hmm.
- (EXHALES)
You know what, We not talkin' about her
because Issa and her messy ass
are not coming with us to Mexico.
Yeah, you're right.
So you've only packed
a bunch of bikinis.
- Correct.
- Well, I mean, as much as I love seeing you in these,
don't you think you might
need some pants at some point?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I am pants-free until
we land back in LA.
(PHONE CHIMES)
(PHONE CLICKS)
- Fuck.
- What?
Ugh!
I gotta squeeze in a meeting
before our flight tomorrow.
Mm. Well
looks like you might need
those pants after all.
(LAUGHS)
Silly.
Can you help me out of these, please?
- Mm, I just got off work.
- Oh!
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Yeah, the hotel room lotion
is just for white people.
It's all watery.
Can you please just
pack it for me, please?
All right, thank you.
(PHONES RINGING, OFFICE CHATTER)
Good morning.
Karen, why was I not informed of
this meeting until last minute?
I really apologize. Malcolm
did email me earlier.
But it's been so crazy with
the case, and I saw it
Okay, but you need
to be on top of things
because when you make a mistake,
it makes me look dumb,
and you don't get paid
to make me look dumb.
Hundred percent. I'm sorry.
I promise it won't happen again.
Okay, where's the brief?
Break it down for these bitches,
you would think I'm a pimp
You was hatin' back then,
well, look at me now
MOLLY: Wait, I'm coming.
I'm almost there.
Okay, I'm here, I'm here.
Please, please don't let them
close the gate without me.
Wait, what's the gate?
ANDREW (ON PHONE): Gate 413,
past the Einstein Bagels.
Einstein Bagel?
Wait, but there's two.
Why are there two?
ANDREW (ON PHONE): It doesn't
matter, keep going.
- Okay.
- Wait, wait, wait. I see you.
You do? Where?
- Why would you do a full 360?
- I don't know!
Oh, wait, I see you, too! Hey!
Okay, that's her. She's here.
- Mm-hmm.
- MOLLY: Okay.
- I was worried you weren't gonna make it.
- I almost didn't.
My driver was like 80 years old.
He kept telling me how he used
to sleep with Loretta Devine.
- Wow.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Come on.
- MOLLY: Okay.
- FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Your water's on the way.
- ANDREW: Excuse me.
- Yeah.
- Hi, uh, can we get
a champagne, a whiskey, that blanket,
and those organic
cheese puffs y'all got?
- Great.
- We're in economy plus.
I want all the pluses.
Sure, happy to help.
All right, thank you very much.
You got it.
- Economy plus.
- I know.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Fancy.
Hey, y'all going to Mexico, too?
Oh, we're all going to Mexico.
I got on the wrong plane once.
I got in the wrong marriage, too.
Okay.
I gave Henry 25 years.
And I'm taking 'em all
back one day at a time.
And today is day three.
- Oh
- Excuse me.
- MOLLY: Is she okay?
- WOMAN: Oh, son of a bitch.
- What just happened?
- I don't know.
ANDREW: Oh, thank God.
I'm gonna take those. Here we go.
- Thanks. Thank you.
- Thank you.
(BOTH EXHALE)
Um, cheers to our first vacation.
And to that woman's freedom, I guess.
(LAUGHS)
Oh.
(BOTH EXHALE)
Baby, when we get there,
can we just chill tonight?
Maybe do, like, a late dinner?
- (GROANS)
- I know your brother's been planning all this stuff,
but I've had such a crazy day.
I mean, I could, you know,
try to talk him down,
but he loves a good schedule.
It's annoying at first, but
it's kind of nice that he
takes care of everything.
You're right. It is nice.
And, like, the last thing I
want is for your brother to think
that I'm coming in and
ruining all his plans.
So you're right, um,
I am down for whatever this weekend.
Whatever?
I brought some things.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So did I.
- What's your thing?
- What's your thing?
I'll show you when we get there.
Well, how about I show
you something right now?
ATTENDANT: We will now be
dimming the cabin lights
for the duration of the flight.

("SALSA" BY NIÃA DIOZ PLAYING)

Come on, YG, fuck Donald Trump
(RAPPING CONTINUES)
MOLLY: I think we're here.
ATTENDANT: Hola, bienvenidos a Mexico.
- Welcome to Mexico.
- ANDREW: Hola, thank you.
(MOLLY EXHALES)
- ANDREW: Wow.
- MOLLY: This place is beautiful!
- Let's do it.
- Yes!
(CHUCKLES)
- Bienvenidos.
- MOLLY: Hola.
Which fruit caviar would you like?
Todo y tambien chévere.
Do you mind if I check in?
- Ah, sÃ, señor.
- Thank you.
- What the hell is fruit caviar?
- I don't know, but we havin' it.
Andy, superstar!
- Oh. Hmm.
- Okay.
- Bring it in.
- (SPEAKING CHINESE)
(SPEAKING CHINESE)
So this is the Molly.
Mm-hmm. Molly, this is Victor.
- And my sister-in-law, Lydia.
- VICTOR: Very nice to meet you.
- LYDIA: Hi.
- VICTOR: Congratulations
on making it this long with him.
If he starts to get too cocky,
just say "gingerbread".
- Stop, stop, stop.
- Oh, gingerbread?
- You are the worst.
- Andy, you did not tell us
Molly was a fucking 10.
- I'm texting my trainer.
- MOLLY: Girl, stop.
You look amazing. I love that dress.
- Thank you.
- So what's the plan for tonight?
Mm, nothing intense. Just a cabana
so we can watch the sunset.
Someone might come over
and give us massages.
Maybe some hand-rolled
cigars, but that's it.
Oh, and reservations at this
amazing ceviche spot at 7:00.
That's a lot. Let's
just do the ceviche spot.
- We've had a long flight.
- VICTOR: Oh, yeah.
I totally get your point.
But, devil's advocate, how often are we
in a beautiful location like this,
no work, and able to
smoke Cubans by the pool?
Baby, why don't we let
them get settled in?
Of course. Okay, so
you guys find your room,
refresh, get changed,
and meet us back down here
- in say, 15 minutes?
- An hour, got it.
Okay, if you don't mind
missing the poolside guac.
We're in Mexico. Pretty
sure there'll be more guac.
See you guys, and Molly,
I know you're gonna look so
fucking hot in your swimsuit,
I'm gonna wanna kill myself.
- Please don't.
- ANDREW: Bye.
MOLLY: They seem really sweet.
Baby, look at this view!
(EXHALES)
(CHUCKLES)
Should I be concerned about Lydia?
Is she gonna try to fuck me later?
(CALM MUSIC PLAYING)
(SPEAKING SPANISH ON TELEVISION)
They got Looking for
LaToya on TV here, too.
They ain't finding her here neither.
That child is internationally lost.
All right, so.
Are you ready to see
what I brought, Andy?
- You're loving that, aren't you?
- So much.
- So what'd you bring?
- All right.
Don't explode when I pull it out.
I think I'll hold it together.
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Uh-huh.
Bam, mm-hmm.
Oh, that's it. Uh, that's, uh, great.
- What were you expecting?
- Nothing, nothing.
This is, this is awesome.
What did you bring?
I might've misinterpreted
the assignment.
(EXHALES) Uh, just
I just brought a little toy.
And some small balls.
- And just a pink butt thing.
- Damn.
I knew I should've bought that feather.
It was on sale, too.
Look, we don't need all this stuff.
You know, what's sexy to me is
finding out what you're really into.
Okay.
Well, I liked what
happened on the plane.
I know. So you like an audience.
More, like, we could have gotten caught.
Okay.
What do you like?
I like when you take charge.
("ROMPE RODILLAS" BY GUAYNAA PLAYING)
(WHISPERS): I want you
to fuck me on the balcony.
(SPANISH RAP MUSIC PLAYING)
MOLLY: Just like that.
(RAPPING CONTINUES)
After last night, are you sure you
can walk all the way to the top?
Wow, I think that's the
definition of bragging.
- Well.
- Morning, sleepyheads.
MOLLY: Hey, guys.
So sorry we couldn't
make it out last night.
We had a long flight.
I'm used to it. Andy's on showbiz time.
And you're still wearing
those pants, so we're even.
- I have four pairs.
- Well, so excited for
everything you guys have
planned. I can't wait.
No more waiting. Hope
you're ready to sweat
'cause it's three miles straight up.
Okay, altitude, calf muscles burning.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Mm-hmm.
WOMAN: Hey-hey-hey, you guys!
Hey, it's me, Mabel, from the plane.
- Hey. Whew!
- Hey.
Looks like we're late for the hike.
Oh, no, no, you good.
I'm just early Shirley over here.
(CHUCKLES)
Just, uh, enjoying my newfound freedom.
Got to stay busy. Day four.
- ANDREW: Hm.
- (CHUCKLES)
See you at dinner.
Come on, let's catch
that runner's high, huh?
- Whoo!
- VICTOR: Only three miles to the top, babe.
- I'm sorry, yeah.
- Okay.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
- (SINGING IN SPANISH)
-
- MOLLY: Are we there yet?
- Right here, right here.
Deeper. Oh, God, that feels good.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Oh, hey, look who showed up.
- VICTOR: Finally.
- Ah, jeez, hurry up, guys.
Come on.
(LYDIA SPEAKS CHINESE)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
Okay.
This was worth it.
(EXHALES)
But how are we gettin' down?
(YELLS INDISTINCTLY)
- (SCREAMING)
- (SPANISH HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS)
I did it, I did it, I did it!
Okay, get me off. But
I did it, did you see?
Yeah, you did it. You did so great.
I think I peed a little.
("DEMBOW Y SEXO" BY LA DOÃA PLAYING)
(SINGING IN SPANISH)
That's the way that I know you on it
You want it, you want it
Got you running 'round for it
You are such a trouper for rolling
with Victor's crazy schedule.
Oh, it was cool. I actually had fun.
I kissed a manatee today.
Yeah, I saw. It tried
to slip in the tongue.
- Not cool.
- (MOLLY LAUGHS)
Oh!
Nathan hit me up, like, three times.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, what's up?
Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt your trip,
but I need to get out the garage and
- Oh, it's doing that thing again?
- NATHAN: Yeah.
Just use the extra clicker. It's
in the linen closet upstairs.
Man, you got everything but
linen in that damn closet.
ISSA (ON PHONE): Oh,
shit, is that a Skip-It?
Yep.
NATHAN: Anyway, uh, have fun.
Yeah, let me know if
you can't get it open.
NATHAN: Yeah, cool.
- Of course.
- What?
Issa. She's back with Nathan.
So what, I guess it's Groundhog Day?
I don't know, I think
they're just hanging out.
He already showed her who he is.
She likes things messy, so that tracks.
Hmm.
- What?
- Nothing.
Just
you know, when he ghosted, he was
he was dealing with some shit.
Like what?
Like mental health stuff.
Oh. Is he okay?
Yeah, he's good, it's just,
you know, when the whole thing
went down with Issa, he was just
dealing with it, I guess.
Hmm. Does she know?
Yeah, I don't know. That's between them.
But is Issa on this trip?
No, she is not.
Okay, you're right. No
more talking about Issa.
Good, because I'm having a
really great time with you.
Yeah?
- This is really nice.
- This is really nice.
Andy.
I don't let anybody call me that.
Oh, well, what are you gonna
do if I don't stop Andy?
(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)
(SPANISH R&B MUSIC PLAYING)
You really want me, huh?
But first, you gotta eat this ass.
Did Victor tell you
he invited your sister?
Why? She never comes to anything.
Because he's trying.
Apparently she's in Seattle
now and she's doing okay.
She bought a sandwich from
a shop she really liked
and she works there now.
Yep, that's on-brand for Fiona.
(YELPING)
- Shit.
- Damn, girl.
I know that burns. Hold on.
Let me get you a towel.
Why are you a fucking saint, too? Jesus.
Thanks.
- Hola.
- Hola.
Can I see your keycard please?
Oh, I don't have it with me.
Oh, no, I need to see
it to give you a towel.
Oh, well, I mean, I'm staying here.
I just literally got out of the pool.
Unfortunately, without your keycard,
I cannot give you a towel. Hotel policy.
Are you serious?
Because the white people
that just left did not
need to show a keycard.
Um, ma'am, I don't know
what you're accusing me of,
but as you can see
If you don't just give me a towel
Okay, you need to calm down,
or I'm going to have to get my manager.
Over a keycard?
Uh, room 328. She's good.
Gracias.
Hola.
Oh, thank you so much.
VICTOR: I just met a dude at the bar
who's gonna send over a bunch of shots.
He swore he knew me from
college and I just went with it.
You okay?
Just some typical bullshit.
The towel lady was just
being intense about her job.
Yeah, in a selectively racist way.
Oh, I'm sorry.
She's probably just jealous
of how pretty you are.
I mean, it's just ridiculous.
I literally watched her
give a white couple
towels without question.
- You saw that, right?
- Yeah.
Hey, just to ask. Do you
really think it was about race?
Victor, don't be dumb. You know it was.
I mean, what exactly are you saying?
Okay, well, devil's advocate.
What if it wasn't?
What if she really
was just doing her job?
Her boss could go off
on her for not checking.
Doesn't excuse it, but nice try.
But you don't know for sure,
so you could be making your
life harder by assuming.
(BOTH SPEAKING CHINESE)
Hey guys, still here, so
can we please speak English?
Oh, no.
Fine, you know, I get it. It's a thing.
Or maybe you don't get it at all.
You don't think I experience racism?
I do, and it sucks.
But how I react to it is my choice.
You don't have to give it so much power.
- Wow.
- You know?
- Okay.
- What?
Victor.
She's just asking for room keys.
No, no, no, she wasn't. Just mine.
This is what white people
want is to divide us.
Yeah, you gotta know
when to pick your battles.
That's easy for you to say.
You only consider
yourselves people of color
when it benefits you.
- VICTOR: What?
- Oh, no.
That's not true. I
don't think like that.
You're different.
Different how?
Seems to me like you're
picking and choosing
who to give the benefit of the doubt to.
You know what? I'm done.
Come on, it's an
interesting conversation.
- Not for me it's not.
- Okay, I struck a nerve.
You know what? Fuck you.
Andrew, get your fuckin' brother.
- What's wrong with you, man?
- What?
I
Gemini, evil eye, who will I be?
I got a question for you
Spirit vibes, Gemini,
where will I be
Go ask the ones before you
What's gon happen if
I go along and trust
What's gon happen if
I turn around and run
I don't wanna be the only
one that's left behind
I got this feeling
Got me reeling in
the dead of the night
My mind is racing got me shaking
Don't know why
(YAWNS)
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, you're up.
Yeah, you really let me sleep in.
Yeah, it felt like you needed it.
I did.
Thank you.
Oh, whoops. I got banana.
Yeah, thank you.
So I was thinking maybe we could
do something more relaxing today.
You wanna hit the spa?
Aren't we meeting
Victor and Lydia later?
No, they're gonna
shop in the city today.
Did I fuck things up?
No, no, of course not. He
and I talked this morning.
I told him he was wrong
and he's really sorry
for the way that he acted.
Okay.
I just don't want this
to ruin the vacation.
It won't. Yeah, he can be an asshole.
He's my brother.
I'm not gonna let shit fester.
We will figure it out.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(ANDREW EXHALES)
Sadly
You don't look happy
And I know your faces
(PHONE CLICKS)
(PHONE RINGS)
DR. RHONDA (ON PHONE):
Hi, this is Dr. Rhonda.
Please leave your name and number
and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can.
Hey, uh, Dr. Rhonda.
It's, uh, me, Molly.
I know it's been a while.
I was actually calling to see
if I could get an appointment
with you as soon as possible.
Kind of been having a hard time
letting go of things
recently, and, uh
So, yeah, if you could
just call me and let me know
as soon as you can, that'd be great.
Thank you.
Things to love

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
Don't you play with me, girl
Yo, how was, uh,
the block party, by the way?
It was dope.
It almost killed me,
but I did that shit.
But you said you had to
talk to me about something?
- Yeah.
- What is it?
(MUSIC CONCLUDES)
Welcome back to another episode
of the Wine Down.
Today we are joined by Alexander Hodge,
who plays Molly's love interest, Andrew,
to discuss "Lowkey Trippin'".
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
This was a big episode
for Andrew and Molly.
Yeah.
What do you think this trip
says about their relationship?
I mean I don't think
Andrew and Molly, uh,
I don't think they take
family lightly, either of them.
So the fact that somebody's meeting
someone else's family, is like,
things are getting pretty
pretty serious between these two.
Can you talk about Andrew's journey?
Ooh. Yeah, I think Andrew
Andrew's been confronted,
I think, for the first time,
Andrew's sort of been
really challenged by a strong
personality in a relationship.
So this is the first time
where he's been like,
"Oh, okay. I need to contribute
in some way that makes
me uncomfortable".
And so I think mainly
that's been being vulnerable,
and opening up, and like, you know,
just being an Asian man,
and being raised the way he was,
talking about things
that don't make him feel strong
or make him feel insecure,
are really difficult for him.
What do you think, sort of,
is going through Molly's head,
uh, during her argument with Victor,
about her overreacting
to the towel lady?
(SIGHS) It's
I think it's the first time
that Molly's had to defend her existence
to somebody who is of
Andrew's side of the relationship.
So it's like the first time
that Molly's had to explain
what being black is like to Victor.
And Andrew is kind of on the side,
but also at the same time,
is is just trying to understand
where both sides are coming from.
And I think in that moment,
what he was trying to do,
by trying to diffuse the situation,
wasn't actually helpful
because he actually
made Molly feel more isolated.
This is our first episode
out of the country.
What was it like?
I think it was it infused, I think,
a new energy into the show
to also take a show
that on-paper is about, you know,
these two black women that
live in a very specific part of L.A.,
and take them and put them
and to see why people travel.
- Yeah.
- And to take the show
and not just show, you know,
obviously, us filming there,
it's one thing to see
black people, you know,
in front of the camera,
behind the camera.
Out of the country, you know,
filming a television show.
But I think, also,
it does a lot even on screen
to see that, 'cause we do travel.
No Issa. I mean how was
that for you on your side?
It was a blessing.
I've been waiting for this
moment for four seasons.
ALEXANDER: She said
let's get three more.
And it was Yes, let's get three.
Next season, woo.
- I'm not gonna be in none of it.
- Not gonna be in none of it.
But I do want to talk about
just the presence
that Issa has on this trip.
Um (CHUCKLES) So I think,
even though Issa was not
appearing in this episode,
Issa definitely featured heavily.
I feel like it's affected Molly so much
because Issa and Molly
are just such a strong presence
in each other's lives.
I do wonder if the fight
with Issa hadn't happened,
and if she didn't have
that burden on her trip,
if she would have
gone so hard on Victor.
Victor was being a bit of a dick.
Mm-hmm, Victor was a dick for sure.
Yeah.
I think Victor was the victim
of displacement of her anger.
And I think that's what's interesting
about episode six and seven.
Even though they're not
in each other's episodes,
their presence is felt.
That's how strong these two
women are in each other's lives.
And how much, by them not
dealing with it, it's still a presence
they have to face in some way.
And so I think that's
what's great about the end
when Yvonne is like, "I have
to sort of start to deal with this".
When do you feel like
it's right to react
or to let it go?
Speaking as myself, or what
I would like myself to do?
Speaking as yourself.
- React.
- React all day?
So the towel From the towel lady
- to the fight in the jacuzzi.
- Yeah.
- Those are your moves.
- Well I need to
I need to work on it. I'm actively
working on this myself.
Doctor Rhonda is available.
It is Look, I have my own
Doctor Rhonda,
and she helps me I I react a lot.
I feel like reacting
might not be the issue.
Overreacting is an issue.
Reacting is not an issue.
But I think when you react,
it's important to like find a way
to maintain capacity to listen.
Okay, well we can't thank you
enough for joining us this week.

a new episode of the Wine Down.

- Did Issa say something to you?
- No about what?
MOLLY CARTER: She just thinks
that I don't want to be happy.
I just think that it's funny
that she calls me "Old Molly"
when she's out there, right
now, doing old shit too.

I've never been in a relationship
long enough to have to
balance it in my life.
You are my main priority.
Give it up for Vince Staples!
Did you tell Nathan to
talk to Andrew about Vince?
Nathan reached out about the
block party and I needed help.
You deliberately went behind my back.
Because, Molly, you were willing
to let me fail over what?
Some random rule you made up?
You need to figure out your
shit and stop using people.
You are so miserable.
If things don't work out with Andrew,
- it's not gonna be because of me, girl.
- Fuck you!
ISSA DEE: Fuck me? I been
stopped fucking with you.

Hey, are you okay?
- I just saw Issa.
- Seriously?
That bitch ran away from
me like I was an actual job.
Really? Well, are you
gonna reach out to her?
I'm not gonna do
anything. It was her fault.
- ANDREW: Mm-hmm.
- (EXHALES)
You know what, We not talkin' about her
because Issa and her messy ass
are not coming with us to Mexico.
Yeah, you're right.
So you've only packed
a bunch of bikinis.
- Correct.
- Well, I mean, as much as I love seeing you in these,
don't you think you might
need some pants at some point?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I am pants-free until
we land back in LA.
(PHONE CHIMES)
(PHONE CLICKS)
- Fuck.
- What?
Ugh!
I gotta squeeze in a meeting
before our flight tomorrow.
Mm. Well
looks like you might need
those pants after all.
(LAUGHS)
Silly.
Can you help me out of these, please?
- Mm, I just got off work.
- Oh!
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Yeah, the hotel room lotion
is just for white people.
It's all watery.
Can you please just
pack it for me, please?
All right, thank you.
(PHONES RINGING, OFFICE CHATTER)
Good morning.
Karen, why was I not informed of
this meeting until last minute?
I really apologize. Malcolm
did email me earlier.
But it's been so crazy with
the case, and I saw it
Okay, but you need
to be on top of things
because when you make a mistake,
it makes me look dumb,
and you don't get paid
to make me look dumb.
Hundred percent. I'm sorry.
I promise it won't happen again.
Okay, where's the brief?
Break it down for these bitches,
you would think I'm a pimp
You was hatin' back then,
well, look at me now
MOLLY: Wait, I'm coming.
I'm almost there.
Okay, I'm here, I'm here.
Please, please don't let them
close the gate without me.
Wait, what's the gate?
ANDREW (ON PHONE): Gate 413,
past the Einstein Bagels.
Einstein Bagel?
Wait, but there's two.
Why are there two?
ANDREW (ON PHONE): It doesn't
matter, keep going.
- Okay.
- Wait, wait, wait. I see you.
You do? Where?
- Why would you do a full 360?
- I don't know!
Oh, wait, I see you, too! Hey!
Okay, that's her. She's here.
- Mm-hmm.
- MOLLY: Okay.
- I was worried you weren't gonna make it.
- I almost didn't.
My driver was like 80 years old.
He kept telling me how he used
to sleep with Loretta Devine.
- Wow.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Come on.
- MOLLY: Okay.
- FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Your water's on the way.
- ANDREW: Excuse me.
- Yeah.
- Hi, uh, can we get
a champagne, a whiskey, that blanket,
and those organic
cheese puffs y'all got?
- Great.
- We're in economy plus.
I want all the pluses.
Sure, happy to help.
All right, thank you very much.
You got it.
- Economy plus.
- I know.

Hey, y'all going to Mexico, too?
Oh, we're all going to Mexico.
I got on the wrong plane once.
I got in the wrong marriage, too.
Okay.
I gave Henry 25 years.
And I'm taking 'em all
back one day at a time.
And today is day three.

I'm gonna take those. Here we go.

Um, cheers to our first vacation.
And to that woman's freedom, I guess.
(LAUGHS)
Oh.
(BOTH EXHALE)
Baby, when we get there,
can we just chill tonight?
Maybe do, like, a late dinner?
- (GROANS)
- I know your brother's been planning all this stuff,
but I've had such a crazy day.
I mean, I could, you know,
try to talk him down,
but he loves a good schedule.
It's annoying at first, but
it's kind of nice that he
takes care of everything.
You're right. It is nice.
And, like, the last thing I
want is for your brother to think
that I'm coming in and
ruining all his plans.
So you're right, um,
I am down for whatever this weekend.
Whatever?
I brought some things.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So did I.
- What's your thing?
- What's your thing?
I'll show you when we get there.

you something right now?

So this is the Molly.
Mm-hmm. Molly, this is Victor.
- And my sister-in-law, Lydia.
- VICTOR: Very nice to meet you.
- LYDIA: Hi.
- VICTOR: Congratulations
on making it this long with him.
If he starts to get too cocky,
just say "gingerbread".
- Stop, stop, stop.
- Oh, gingerbread?
- You are the worst.
- Andy, you did not tell us
Molly was a fucking 10.
- I'm texting my trainer.
- MOLLY: Girl, stop.
You look amazing. I love that dress.
- Thank you.
- So what's the plan for tonight?
Mm, nothing intense. Just a cabana
so we can watch the sunset.
Someone might come over
and give us massages.
Maybe some hand-rolled
cigars, but that's it.
Oh, and reservations at this
amazing ceviche spot at 7:00.
That's a lot. Let's
just do the ceviche spot.
- We've had a long flight.
- VICTOR: Oh, yeah.
I totally get your point.
But, devil's advocate, how often are we
in a beautiful location like this,
no work, and able to
smoke Cubans by the pool?
Baby, why don't we let
them get settled in?
Of course. Okay, so
you guys find your room,
refresh, get changed,
and meet us back down here
- in say, 15 minutes?
- An hour, got it.
Okay, if you don't mind
missing the poolside guac.
We're in Mexico. Pretty
sure there'll be more guac.
See you guys, and Molly,
I know you're gonna look so
fucking hot in your swimsuit,
I'm gonna wanna kill myself.
- Please don't.
- ANDREW: Bye.
MOLLY: They seem really sweet.
Baby, look at this view!

Should I be concerned about Lydia?
Is she gonna try to fuck me later?

what I brought, Andy?
- You're loving that, aren't you?
- So much.
- So what'd you bring?
- All right.

I think I'll hold it together.
Mm-hmm.
Okay. Uh-huh.

Oh, that's it. Uh, that's, uh, great.
- What were you expecting?
- Nothing, nothing.
This is, this is awesome.
What did you bring?
I might've misinterpreted
the assignment.
(EXHALES) Uh, just
I just brought a little toy.
And some small balls.
- And just a pink butt thing.
- Damn.
I knew I should've bought that feather.
It was on sale, too.
Look, we don't need all this stuff.
You know, what's sexy to me is
finding out what you're really into.
Okay.
Well, I liked what
happened on the plane.
I know. So you like an audience.
More, like, we could have gotten caught.
Okay.
What do you like?
I like when you take charge.

Hey, what's up?
Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt your trip,
but I need to get out the garage and
- Oh, it's doing that thing again?
- NATHAN: Yeah.
Just use the extra clicker. It's
in the linen closet upstairs.
Man, you got everything but
linen in that damn closet.
ISSA (ON PHONE): Oh,
shit, is that a Skip-It?
Yep.
NATHAN: Anyway, uh, have fun.
Yeah, let me know if
you can't get it open.
NATHAN: Yeah, cool.
- Of course.
- What?
Issa. She's back with Nathan.
So what, I guess it's Groundhog Day?
I don't know, I think
they're just hanging out.
He already showed her who he is.
She likes things messy, so that tracks.
Hmm.
- What?
- Nothing.
Just
you know, when he ghosted, he was
he was dealing with some shit.
Like what?
Like mental health stuff.
Oh. Is he okay?
Yeah, he's good, it's just,
you know, when the whole thing
went down with Issa, he was just
dealing with it, I guess.
Hmm. Does she know?
Yeah, I don't know. That's between them.
But is Issa on this trip?
No, she is not.
Okay, you're right. No
more talking about Issa.
Good, because I'm having a
really great time with you.
Yeah?
- This is really nice.
- This is really nice.
Andy.
I don't let anybody call me that.
Oh, well, what are you gonna
do if I don't stop Andy?
(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)
(SPANISH R&B MUSIC PLAYING)
You really want me, huh?
But first, you gotta eat this ass.
Did Victor tell you
he invited your sister?
Why? She never comes to anything.
Because he's trying.
Apparently she's in Seattle
now and she's doing okay.
She bought a sandwich from
a shop she really liked
and she works there now.
Yep, that's on-brand for Fiona.
(YELPING)
- Shit.
- Damn, girl.
I know that burns. Hold on.
Let me get you a towel.
Why are you a fucking saint, too? Jesus.
Thanks.
- Hola.
- Hola.
Can I see your keycard please?
Oh, I don't have it with me.
Oh, no, I need to see
it to give you a towel.
Oh, well, I mean, I'm staying here.
I just literally got out of the pool.
Unfortunately, without your keycard,
I cannot give you a towel. Hotel policy.
Are you serious?
Because the white people
that just left did not
need to show a keycard.
Um, ma'am, I don't know
what you're accusing me of,
but as you can see
If you don't just give me a towel
Okay, you need to calm down,
or I'm going to have to get my manager.
Over a keycard?
Uh, room 328. She's good.
Gracias.
Hola.
Oh, thank you so much.
VICTOR: I just met a dude at the bar
who's gonna send over a bunch of shots.
He swore he knew me from
college and I just went with it.
You okay?
Just some typical bullshit.
The towel lady was just
being intense about her job.
Yeah, in a selectively racist way.
Oh, I'm sorry.
She's probably just jealous
of how pretty you are.
I mean, it's just ridiculous.
I literally watched her
give a white couple
towels without question.
- You saw that, right?
- Yeah.
Hey, just to ask. Do you
really think it was about race?
Victor, don't be dumb. You know it was.
I mean, what exactly are you saying?
Okay, well, devil's advocate.
What if it wasn't?
What if she really
was just doing her job?
Her boss could go off
on her for not checking.
Doesn't excuse it, but nice try.
But you don't know for sure,
so you could be making your
life harder by assuming.
(BOTH SPEAKING CHINESE)
Hey guys, still here, so
can we please speak English?
Oh, no.
Fine, you know, I get it. It's a thing.
Or maybe you don't get it at all.
You don't think I experience racism?
I do, and it sucks.
But how I react to it is my choice.
You don't have to give it so much power.
- Wow.
- You know?
- Okay.
- What?
Victor.
She's just asking for room keys.
No, no, no, she wasn't. Just mine.
This is what white people
want is to divide us.
Yeah, you gotta know
when to pick your battles.
That's easy for you to say.
You only consider
yourselves people of color
when it benefits you.
- VICTOR: What?
- Oh, no.
That's not true. I
don't think like that.
You're different.
Different how?
Seems to me like you're
picking and choosing
who to give the benefit of the doubt to.
You know what? I'm done.
Come on, it's an
interesting conversation.
- Not for me it's not.
- Okay, I struck a nerve.
You know what? Fuck you.
Andrew, get your fuckin' brother.
- What's wrong with you, man?
- What?
I
Gemini, evil eye, who will I be?
I got a question for you

where will I be
Go ask the ones before you
What's gon happen if
I go along and trust

do something more relaxing today.
You wanna hit the spa?
Aren't we meeting
Victor and Lydia later?
No, they're gonna
shop in the city today.

No, no, of course not. He
and I talked this morning.
I told him he was wrong
and he's really sorry
for the way that he acted.
Okay.

to ruin the vacation.
It won't. Yeah, he can be an asshole.

It almost killed me,
but I did that shit.
But you said you had to
talk to me about something?
- Yeah.
- What is it?
(MUSIC CONCLUDES)
Welcome back to another episode
of the Wine Down.
Today we are joined by Alexander Hodge,
who plays Molly's love interest, Andrew,
to discuss "Lowkey Trippin'".
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
This was a big episode
for Andrew and Molly.
Yeah.
What do you think this trip
says about their relationship?
I mean I don't think
Andrew and Molly, uh,
I don't think they take
family lightly, either of them.
So the fact that somebody's meeting
someone else's family, is like,
things are getting pretty
pretty serious between these two.
Can you talk about Andrew's journey?
Ooh. Yeah, I think Andrew
Andrew's been confronted,
I think, for the first time,
Andrew's sort of been
really challenged by a strong
personality in a relationship.
So this is the first time
where he's been like,
"Oh, okay. I need to contribute
in some way that makes
me uncomfortable".
And so I think mainly
that's been being vulnerable,
and opening up, and like, you know,
just being an Asian man,
and being raised the way he was,
talking about things
that don't make him feel strong
or make him feel insecure,
are really difficult for him.
What do you think, sort of,
is going through Molly's head,
uh, during her argument with Victor,
about her overreacting
to the towel lady?
(SIGHS) It's
I think it's the first time
that Molly's had to defend her existence
to somebody who is of
Andrew's side of the relationship.
So it's like the first time
that Molly's had to explain
what being black is like to Victor.
And Andrew is kind of on the side,
but also at the same time,
is is just trying to understand
where both sides are coming from.
And I think in that moment,
what he was trying to do,
by trying to diffuse the situation,
wasn't actually helpful
because he actually
made Molly feel more isolated.
This is our first episode
out of the country.
What was it like?
I think it was it infused, I think,
a new energy into the show
to also take a show
that on-paper is about, you know,
these two black women that
live in a very specific part of L.A.,
and take them and put them
and to see why people travel.
- Yeah.
- And to take the show
and not just show, you know,
obviously, us filming there,
it's one thing to see
black people, you know,
in front of the camera,
behind the camera.
Out of the country, you know,
filming a television show.
But I think, also,
it does a lot even on screen
to see that, 'cause we do travel.
No Issa. I mean how was
that for you on your side?
It was a blessing.
I've been waiting for this
moment for four seasons.
ALEXANDER: She said
let's get three more.
And it was Yes, let's get three.
Next season, woo.
- I'm not gonna be in none of it.
- Not gonna be in none of it.
But I do want to talk about
just the presence
that Issa has on this trip.
Um (CHUCKLES) So I think,
even though Issa was not
appearing in this episode,
Issa definitely featured heavily.
I feel like it's affected Molly so much
because Issa and Molly
are just such a strong presence
in each other's lives.
I do wonder if the fight
with Issa hadn't happened,
and if she didn't have
that burden on her trip,
if she would have
gone so hard on Victor.
Victor was being a bit of a dick.
Mm-hmm, Victor was a dick for sure.
Yeah.
I think Victor was the victim
of displacement of her anger.
And I think that's what's interesting
about episode six and seven.
Even though they're not
in each other's episodes,
their presence is felt.
That's how strong these two
women are in each other's lives.
And how much, by them not
dealing with it, it's still a presence
they have to face in some way.
And so I think that's
what's great about the end
when Yvonne is like, "I have
to sort of start to deal with this".
When do you feel like
it's right to react
or to let it go?
Speaking as myself, or what
I would like myself to do?
Speaking as yourself.
- React.
- React all day?
So the towel From the towel lady
- to the fight in the jacuzzi.
- Yeah.
- Those are your moves.
- Well I need to
I need to work on it. I'm actively
working on this myself.
