Good Trouble

Angelica and I used to date.

Do you know if she's seeing anyone?

We are seeing each other.

-I have a date. -A date?

I just figured, like, since you're poly,

that you wouldn't really mind.

Malika, this is Gillian.

Hi! It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I'm Dana Batra, Lucia's campaign manager.

Will hates her.

They're always in a tug of war

for Lucia's time and attention.

We wanted you to have a place that feels like yours.

Welcome home.

Ivan's looking for you.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I gotta admit I'm a little... nervous,

this being our first official date.

Is it true that you set them up?

I guess it was more of a test, really,

you know, just to see if he was still interested in me

before I poured my heart out to him.

Elliot, this is Davia.

She's gonna be your homeschool teacher.

Elliot, please put down your phone.

I'm not doing anything on my phone.

Elliot, put your phone away or I will take it from you.

Evan, you never responded to my texts.

About us?

Yes.

I don't think it's appropriate for there to be an us,

now that we're working together again.

It's a little different.

But I guess you're right.

For my next trick, I will saw a woman in half

with the help of my two lovely assistants.

As you can see,

she is real,

alive,

and in one piece.

So without further ado...

Always gets a little tough in the middle here.

Now, Lucia, Angelica, will you pull her apart?

Uh-oh!

What?

I thought the food was good.

Me too.

Although the ceviche could've been more acidic,

and the creme brulee a little less yolky.

Hmm. But how about the company?

Mmm. Mmm.

Definitely a little less funny, charming, and handsome.

I'll try to tone it down.

Why don't we...

go back to your place tonight?

-Tonight? -Mmm.

I-- I don't know because, um...

my place is-- is kind of a mess.

-Hmm? -Yeah.

And the Ritz Cooper requires

at least 24 hours of advance notification for reservations.

Okay. Okay.

But you can't keep The Coterie a secret forever.

I am starting to think

that you've got some bodies buried in the walls.

Please. That is a rookie move.

I would never bury bodies in the walls, okay?

-You can't control the smell. -Oh!

Hey, what's up?

I have, uh...

just been trying to get my birth certificate

so I can get a social security card,

get a job.

Problem is, is I was born at home.

My parents, they never registered my birth.

And there are no witnesses I know of.

So as far as the government is concerned,

I do not exist.

Well, there must be someone in your family

who knows something.

My-- My parents were not close

to any relatives that I remember.

Hmm.

Well, what about one of those DNA services?

You know, the ones that can, uh, trace your lineage?

People find relatives through them all the time.

What if you have a family member

you don't even know about who can help?

No. I don't think so.

It'll just be very expensive.

Well, hey, I don't mind lending you the money.

I know you're good for it.

You paid me back for those burlesque costumes.

No, it would just be a waste of time.

There are over 63,000 unhoused people in this city.

And this crisis is Lucia's...

number-one concern going forward.

We are gathering surveys from constituents

to understand what their biggest concerns are

when it comes to the unhoused.

You don't need a survey to know what voters want.

They want people to stop sleeping in their driveways and in underpasses.

If you wanna be reelected in the fall,

how you address this, or fail to,

will be the deciding factor.

And you have a problem with an encampment

right in the middle of your district,

which residents are up in arms about.

Every unhoused person is a constituent too.

They need our help.

People may not want encampments,

but a lot are also opposed to sweeps.

Which is why you need to tread carefully

and come up with a creative solution

to solve this problem.

I'm confident we can come up with some fresh, innovative ideas

to address this crisis.

So let's get to work, all right?

Don't forget, Thirsty Thurs-Yay is tomorrow night.

There will be wine, beer,

and some light "horse devoors."

Spouses and significant others are invited as well.

And not to spoil any surprises,

but I might do a magic trick or two.

You don't wanna miss it!

You wanna miss it.

Will is a terrible magician.

So you're not going?

Oh, I'm for sure going.

But just for the free booze.

And to see who gets drunk and humiliates themselves.

Hopefully, it's not me this time.

Oh.

So an average professional running back

sprints 40 yards in 4.5 seconds.

Assuming speed is constant,

how many seconds will it take the average running back to run 100 yards?

11.25.

Correct! Good job.

So do you like the Seattle Seahawks?

Well, I'm not supposed to.

I grew up in Wisconsin, so I'm a Packers fan.

-A Cheesehead? -Yeah.

Well, the Seahawks had the greatest defensive team ever.

They're called the Legion of Boom. You have to see this video--

Okay, hol-- Hold on.

Let's finish our lesson first, and let's not get distracted.

It'll only take a second.

Why don't we just get this done,

and then we can take a break, and you can show me then?

But I always get a break at 10:00.

Elliot, we haven't been working long enough

to take a break yet.

But it's 10:00. It's my break time!

-Elliot! -I'm taking my break now!

Uh, I-- I have no idea how that could've happened.

I'm so sorry. Oh, okay. We'll get on that right away.

-Thank you. -What was that about?

Who's in charge of updating Glow Fille's new product images?

Exactly!

Look, we need to clarify who's handling what

by picking out a point person in charge.

Uh-- We always agreed we all have equal say.

It's not about equal say.

It's about, like, a Delegator-in-Chief.

So they'd be the DIC?

I like DIC.

I mean, D-I-C.

It'll be like an inside joke.

Okay. So who wants to be the DIC?

Not me.

Me either.

I'll be the DIC!

Oh, I mean, if you want to--

I mean, it's okay if you want to--

Because I wouldn't mind--

I mean, I wouldn't mind either.

-But if you want to-- -But if you really want to--

You know what? Let's put it to a vote.

-A vote? -An anonymous vote.

-I don't know. -Great! A vote.

And, you know, no hard feelings either way.

None at all!

Okay. Let's vote.

Everyone done?

Oh, yeah.

Tied.

Well, I suppose we could both be DICs.
