Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

Oh, look, he's alive.

I was getting worried.

I haven't heard a word from Simon

since he got on that elevator with Jessica.

I thought maybe she shanked him.

- As Eddie describes it, it was very amicable.

I mean, the Brits don't scream and yell like we do.

- Seems like Simon's finally coming up for air.

It says here, "A new day begins.

Looking forward to looking forward."

- See, that just makes me want to shank him.

What do I do now?

I have no idea how I'm supposed to be around him.

I mean, he doesn't know that I know they broke up.

- And I know that you know that he's gonna run to you

and tell you at work.

- Okay, but what is the right way

to approach this kind of situation?

I mean, I really feel bad for them both.

It's not like it's not like I won.

- Oh, no, baby, you definitely won.

- How do I react when he tells me that they broke up?

Should I be concerned?

Sympathetic? Respectfully somber?

- You act like a human would act to a human.

The boy just broke up with his fiancée four days ago.

He'll come to you when he's ready.

Just play it cool.

How do I do that?

- It's all in the attitude. Sit.

How about we say something comforting like...

"Hey."

- Hey. - No.

- Hey. - No.

- Hey. - No.

- Hey. - Zoey.

- You know what? I'm just gonna wing it.

Hey...

Stop it.

Morning.

Stopping by for a little quality Dad time on my way to work.

You okay?

Maybe a little tired?

Just write them back

and tell them you have to cancel.

Cancel what?

- Medici. They just emailed

confirming our reservation for Friday night.

Same table every year.

Oh, my God, I totally forgot.

It's almost your anniversary.

I think we all forgot.

We've been a little preoccupied around here.

- Why do you have to cancel? Maybe Dad still wants to go.

- You really think he's in any condition

to go out to a restaurant right now?

I don't know, but it's Medici.

Mom and Dad have been celebrating there

for as long as I can remember.

- It is a special place, and we've had

a lot of great nights there, but, um, your father

Loves their tomato soup.

He could still eat that.

- Howie? What do you think?

- Well, your dad is slowing down, sleeping more.

But if you guys want to go, I am happy to help.

See?

Howie thinks it a good idea. - That place is tiny.

I mean, you sure his wheelchair's even gonna fit?

- I'll call them and see if they'll make room,

and if they do, will you guys go?

- It's up to your father. I'm happy to do

whatever it is he wants. What do you think, honey?

- Great. You guys don't have to worry about a thing.

I've got it handled.

What kind of a restaurant won't accommodate a wheelchair?

This is 2020. How is that even allowed?

Hello? Mr. Michele, where'd you go?

Mr. Michele? Mr. Michele?

Oh, no. Is today really the day?

- If you're talking about the day

where I move up to the 6th floor

and no one even looks up from their computers

to say goodbye, then yes. Today's the day.

- Sorry, I was gonna get you a gift,

like a fancy pen or an even-fancier mouse.

- Well, it's the almost-thought that counts.

I guess this is goodbye, huh?

- I guess so. It's gonna be

really weird not seeing your face every day.

Yeah. Super weird.

- What are we doing? It's only two floors up.

- Yeah, two floors. That's nothing.

Yes, what are we doing? This is ridiculous.

Same elevator. - We're gonna be fine.

- We're fine, yeah. See ya.

I...

- Sorry. - ...will see you later.

Okay.

Hey...

Aloha, Joan. How was your long weekend?

Oh, you know, typical.

I was at a conference with a bunch of billionaires

getting tipsy and prank calling that Theranos woman.

- That's wild. So, I couldn't help but notice

that Leif called in sick the same days you were gone.

And?

And...it's possible

one may have inferred that you two were...

...canoodling together?

We may have been canoodling

when we felt like canoodling.

Now, can we please stop speaking "Zoey"?

Sorry.

It's just, I thought you said you were gonna end it with him.

- Oh, my God, we did, basically.

It's light and casual.

He's a millennial they're apathetic and non-committal.

It's a beautiful thing.

- You're not worried he's just angling for a perk at work.

I am the perk at work.

Why is there oatmeal?

Oatmeal bar?

Whose idea was an oatmeal bar? Glen!

Hey, how are we doing on The Chirp?

Why does it feel so empty in here?

Oh, it's 'cause Max left.

He moved up to the 6th floor.

You let Max go work for Ava?

- Ava wanted him and he wanted to go,

Sorry, Joan. I know you and Ava

have had a rivalry over the years.

She's a monster.

- Well, if it makes you feel any better,

Max is probably miserable on the 6th floor anyway.

Hi, I'm Max Richman...

your new manager of engineering.

Please hold your applause till the end.

I got this 7-step process for effective leadership

that I I read about online

that...I think... it it could really...

Hey, could I be honest with you guys? Uh...

I can't believe that Ava hired me for this job.

I mean, honestly, I'm I'm not a better programmer

than any of you. I know that.

But what I really want here is to foster an environment

where everyone feels like they are appreciated,

and heard, and valued.

Because you are.

You're the damn 6th floor!

And and I am lucky to be a part of your team.

Good morning.

Oh, Simon!

Hey. Hi...there.

Sorry we didn't talk earlier.

- Mm. - I was in my own world. Uh...

Jessica and I broke up.

No way! Seriously?

- That's a terrible surprised face.

Well, I just wanted you to know.

Wasn't your fault. Jessica and I

had some issues we couldn't resolve.

We fought all the time, starting way before you and I met.

And at the end of the day,

we just wanted the other person to be happier.

- I'm sure that was really difficult,

and I want you to know

there's zero expectations on my end

and take as much time as you need.

- You wanna have dinner tonight? - It's not too soon?

No, I think it'd be good

for us to sit down and really discuss stuff.

Plus, I just moved into my new place,

love for you to see it.

Wow, okay, so, uh...

Just you and me at your new apartment?

Is that okay?

Uh, sure, why not?

Great. See you tonight.

Mo, guess what?

I must've played it real cool

'cause Simon and I are having dinner tonight

at his new apartment alone.

How about that

You think he's hooking up with Ava Price?

Why would you say that?

- Because sleeping with the boss is the fastest way

to career advancement. Everyone knows that.

I mean, I'd sleep with Joan if I

No "if." I'd sleep with Joan.

I mean, I don't think...

sleeping with the boss helps at all.

You know, 'cause theoretically, the last thing a superior

would want is to seem like they're playing favorites

Leif, stop talking.

Okay, I just got off the phone

with Danny Michael Davis who is looking for a progress report

on The Chirp, so where are we?

Better be someplace good.

- I'm optimizing this algorithm for real-time feedback.
