Mistresses

I am, uh, rusty with the small talk.

And I don't go on a lot of blind dates.

"I think there was some confusion last night.

Here is a labradoodle for your ref... "

Previously on "Mistresses"...

I can't talk right now.

I was supposed to be a mother by now.

I may never have that chance again.

How was your day?

Uneventful.

I walk by a table of men. I feel them wanting me.

What's your name?

I'm Jennifer.

It's not that I don't think you're adorable. I do.

That whole wet-nose thing... I can't get enough.

It's just not practical.

You think you're gonna break me, hmm?

Really? 'Cause you won't.

My heart is made of stone, my friend... Stone.

Okay, the truth is I would keep you.

It's just that my sister... she's mean.

Stop badmouthing me to that dog.

You're the one that's allergic.

Hey, little puppy.

Hi.

Why are you all pretty?

It's like the middle of the night.

It's 7:30.

Harry and I have a gig later.

As a matter of fact, I should get going.

Hey, will you drive me to Calabasas tomorrow?

I have a bunch of depositions, and I'm still

not totally comfortable driving myself on the freeway.

Yeah. Sure, no problem.

Oh, who's Zack Kilmer?

Oh. Give me that.

Hello.

Hey. Guess where I just was.

Mm, the yoga class I was telling you about?

Never gonna happen.

I was at that beach that we drove past last Sunday.

- The one in Malibu? - Yeah.

I was feeling kind of stressed-out.

So I took your advice

and walked around until the sun went down.

Of course, I was listening to punk rock the whole time.

Uh, which reminds me...

you remember those tickets that you bought me?

- The red hot chili peppers? - Yeah.

Yeah, well, the concert's tomorrow night,

and my buddy just bailed.

I don't know if you're into the band, but, uh...

but if you want to go, I have an extra seat.

Never mind. Uh, bad idea.

- No, I'd... I'd like to go. - Really?

Yeah.

Cool. Uh, pick you up at 7:00?

Sounds good. See you then.

What? See who? When? How? What?

I thought you were running late.

Oh, my God. You have secrets.

Gossip. Gossip.

Okay, tell me everything.

Okay, this is gonna sound strange,

so I really need you to keep an open mind.

Zack is the guy from the accident.

He was driving the other car.

He came to visit me a couple of weeks ago.

Wait. Whoa. What? And you didn't tell me this?

There was nothing to tell.

He wanted to talk about the accident,

and so we talked about the accident,

and I've been speaking to him on the phone.

- And in person. - No, just a few times.

We've actually, like, become friends.

Friends? I don't... Savi, how does this work?

We're talking about the guy that almost killed you.

And I'm the girl that almost killed him.

Honey, is that why you've been so M.I.A.?

You've canceled on two girls' nights this week,

and April said she's been calling

and leaving messages, and you haven't returned any of them.

No, no. I've just been really busy at work.

It has nothing to do with Zack.

Can you do me a favor

and not say anything about this to anyone?

Because you know April and Karen...

they're just gonna worry, and I don't want it to be a whole thing.

Does Dom know you're talking to this guy?

No, I'm working on it.

Hey. Look at me.

Please keep this to ourselves for right now.

Yeah, sure. No problem.

Thank you.

See? I told you she was weird.

Oh, God.

I can't believe you've never

made mashed-potato volcanoes before.

Playing with food is kind of against the rules.

Well, we're not playing. We're sculpting.

Go ahead. Dare ya.

All right.

I know I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing.

His idea.

It's no reflection on how good the food is.

It's strictly in the name of art.

Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. I've got to go wash my hands.

Okay.

Mwah!

- Mom, I need to tell you something. - What?

I love Daniel.

Really?

I think I love him, too.

Oh, my God.

Did I just say that out loud?

We both love him! How awesome is this?

Pretty awesome.

Great job tonight.

Oh, yeah. Kitchen's clean.

Leftovers are in the fridge,

although there was not a whole lot left.

Uh, that's because everybody freaking loved it.

Are you kidding me? Those...

- those chocolate brioche thingies? - They're good, right?

I think that half of the guests

would have had sex with them if they could,

especially Evelyn, the one with the cheekbones.

She wants to book us for next week, by the way.

Well, I can't.

Why?

Because I'm gonna be in Australia,

remember? My family reunion.

- Oh, I thought that was months away. - Yeah, it was months away.

Now it's tomorrow.

Well, can't you Skype into it or something?

Not exactly how it works.

Josslyn, before I forget,

will you deposit tonight's cha-ching?

Holy check, Batman. What is this?

- This is for more than we asked for. - That's what I'm talking about, baby.

The party was perfect. My compliments to the chef.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

And to you.

Thank you. This is way too much.

Oh. Big tippers go to heaven. My mother taught me that.

So basically, it's... it's more of, like,

- a selfish gesture on my behalf. - Yes, well,

while we appreciate the business, you know

that you don't have to throw fancy events to see me, right?

I...

Was it that obvious?

Just a hunch. Next time, call me.

Did you feel anything?

Shock, I think.

- Anything else? - I'm still processing the shock.

Okay, think I kind of undershot there

'cause was going for "weak in the knees" on that one.

Damn.

But I... yeah, I give you an "A" for effort.

- All right, I'll take it. - That was good.

I'll take it. And a... a date?

Perhaps maybe you give the guy a break?

Oh, man.

Why not? You get a date.

Okay, all right. I'll take it.

Really great work today, Ted.

I'll see you next week.

Bye.

Tell me, Valerie... What made you want to teach pilates?

When I started dancing, pilates was just part of the regimen.

See? I knew you were a dancer. What kind?

Ballet, mostly. A little modern.

I bet you were phenomenal.

Well, I did dance a pretty mean "Swan Lake."

Of course, that was before my knee injury,

but pilates got me back on... track.

It's great for developing lean muscle.

I can see that.

Join me in my room tonight.

Room 319.

Chloe, a word?

Why wasn't the partners' meeting on my schedule?

Um, I'm so sorry, but you weren't asked to that meeting.

I thought it was odd,

so I already checked with Mitchell's assistant.

Should I ask again?

Um, no. No. No, it's fine.

Uh, I need the Cernik files on my desk.

He cooks. He's a good listener. He is amazing with Lucy.

It's all just so easy and effortless and perfect...

Which can't be good, right? What if it's too perfect?

Or maybe you're due. You deserve this, April.

Don't look for problems where there aren't any.

Now, where's Savi?

I need to talk to you guys about something.

I don't know. I left her two messages, and she never got back to me.

You want to wait?

Okay, so, you know how I've been trying to date more,

but it's been difficult because of my... notoriety?
