Good Trouble

I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong but...

If you're looking for Mariana, she's not home yet.

I'm her new roommate, Isabella.

How'd you like to open a show for me in a couple of weeks?

-For real? -In the comedy capital of Sacramento.

Like, overnight?

Exes shouldn't date their exes' friends.

But you did ask me for Lindsay's number and they're my friend.

I can't go with her. I get it.

Did you ask Sumi about going out with me?

She's not open to dating anyone right now.

If I just leave, then you can still fix it.

-You do... -I don't wanna lose you.

I was the one who posted the salary information online.

Thank you, Mariana, for coming forward.

We've decided not to terminate your contract.

I'm putting you back on your app effective immediately.

That company that owns the development group you're suing,

Anwei International? I represent them.

-I'm gonna move back in with Mariana. -Are you breaking up with me?

Well, I think this is how we save our relationship.

-Oh. Hi. -Hi.

You're Mariana's new roommate.

Yes. And it is so nice to meet you.

Mariana told me you moved in with your boyfriend.

Congratulations!

Thanks!

What are you doing here?

Um, I came by to grab this lamp.

If you wanna wait for Mariana...

Oh no. Um...

No, that's fine. I actually just

came to grab my, um... my lamp.

-If you don't mind? -No, please.

-Jamie doesn't have lamps? -Yeah, he does.

But, um, I like this one.

So I met your new, uh, roommate. That was fast.

Yeah, well, you moved out fast. I felt bad asking you to

keep paying a third of the rent when money's tight.

-So you did it for me? -I need a new roommate.

-Why? -Because I might get fired.

And I need someone that can actually pay half the rent.

Yes. I did it for you.

Well thanks.

So how did you meet, uh, Isabella?

You know, Gael mentioned he knew someone who was looking.

Um, she's a friend of Gael's.

Gael's...

I never should have gotten involved with you.

To see your lying face every day.

I wish you didn't live here.

So you just, moved her in here?

Yeah, well. We really hit it off.

We're like practically the same person.

-Isabella? -Mariana?

Wait...

Oh my God, we're wearing the same shirt!

Oh really? Is she a... a tech engineer too?

-Uh, no. She's an actress. -An actress...

Yeah. She's been on "Grey's Anatomy".

I played Accident Victim #3.

Oh, my God, I love that show.

Stop. Me too. Wait. What's your favorite episode?

The plane crash.

Ugh, totally.

Anyways, they only gave me one line and they cut it.

So if you blink, you'll miss me.

But, she makes most of her money modeling.

Huh.

Well, I hope you got some good references.

So if you need a list of references...

Oh no. No, no, no. I don't need any. You're great.

Oh. You're great too.

-Well if you wanna move in... -I would love to.

Yay!

Of course I got references.

But, you know, we just have so much in common.

She's really awesome.

Well, I'm happy for you.

Me too. She's really awesome.

Yeah, I got that.

And now you can live at Jamie's rent free.

Yeah...

Well, um... I should get going.

'Kay.

Hey, um...

We're having an official launch party for the app.

If you wanna come.

It's nothing fancy but I'll put you on the list.

Yeah, I'll check my calendar.

Oh. Uh, hey. Sorry.

-You're Raj. -Yeah.

-I'm Isabella. -Yeah. Yeah. Hey. Nice to meet you.

You too. Heard a lot about you.

-Oh... -All excellent.

Well. You too.

Uh, Mariana's running late.

Yeah. I was gonna make myself scarce.

You're more than welcome to hang out.

-Thanks. -Yeah.

Um...

Uh, what are you building?

Shelves.

The instructions said it should take 20 minutes.

So naturally it's taken me three hours.

Well, technically two.

'Cause a 10-minute Twitter break turned into an hour, so...

-Oh. -Yeah.

You want help?

I would love some help.

Okay...

I integrated the vector graphics for the web assets.

So... looks like we're ready to launch.

Thanks for staying late.

Yeah, no worries.

Okay.

Now let's comb through the chat feature.

Uh, the chat feature?

Is that really necessary?

I mean, it worked in the beta test.

Well. If there's no bug it won't be necessary.

But if there is, it would have been.

So there's no way of accessing the necessity

without our assessment.

I'm performing in our capital.

Maybe you'll get discovered in Sacramento.

Get your own Hulu special.

Sorry I'm not Ali Wong".

Toilet paper not included".

"Alice Kwan. Neither queer nor there".

"Alice Kwan. Guinea pig enthusiast".

Ugh. I can't listen to this anymore.

You need to tell Joey that Lindsay's saying

Joey's the one who broke up their relationship with Jenny.

I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

That's a complete lie!

Lindsay broke us up. I told you they can't be trusted!

You have to choose. It's me or them.

Okay. That would be bad.

On the other hand, if Joey comes to Sacramento

and hangs out with Lindsay, it's bound to come out.

And what happens when Joey finds out

you knew all along and didn't tell them?

You knew? And you didn't tell me?

How can I ever trust you?

This is over.

An even worst-case scenario.

Let's not imagine what Joey would do

if you told them Lindsay kissed you.

So... Lindsay kissed me.

I said let's not imagine that.

Hey. Are you okay?

You seem a little distant.

Just thinking about Sacramento.

Yeah, I know you're really nervous.

And it's a really big deal.

And I really wanted to be there.

With you, but I don't think I can make it.

You can't?

There's this music festival at work and I'm...

kind of in charge.

I mean, I guess I could call in sick.

Do not use this as an excuse to put off the inevitable!

No. No.

You can't call in sick if they're counting on you.

I mean, I'm super bummed that you won't be there

but I understand.

I'm very disappointed in you.

You sure?

Of course.

I'm not coming back until the sex is over

'cause I'm just gonna ruin it for you.

-Hey. -Hey.

So Mariana found a new roommate.

Can I stay here until I find a new place to live?

You have a place to live.

Look, I wish I could take myself off the Anwei account.

-But I... -You can't.

If the court decides Anwei International

can't be recognized as a California corporation,

the case goes away.

Can we at least wait and see what happens?

Sure.

What's with the lamp?

Okay. This is definitely not a 20-minute job.

Right? Which one of these screws looks like an A23?

Um...

Hard to tell.

Mariana?

Yeah. She's still at the office.

You don't have to help me with the shelf. It's impossible.

You know what the word impossible says?

I'm possible.

My mom always said that to me

when I was frustrated by something.

One of my nannies used to say that all the time

and it drove me crazy.

One of your nannies...

I only had one at a time.

My parents were gone a lot so I was an only child.
