Good Trouble

I've joined a burlesque group,

and I'm inviting you all to the show.

Come celebrate me celebrating myself.

I have an opportunity for you to dance.

I don't have that 200 bucks for my costumes.

That's-- that's no problem. You can just pay me back later.

-(screams) -oh!

-You can't squat here, man! -No, no, no. I-- I'm going.

Have you thought about us being each other's primaries?

Malika: I don't think I'm ready to commit

to taking that next step with you.

Angelica and I used to date.

Do you know if she's seeing anyone?

Malika: She hasn't mentioned anyone.

Lucia: I've made a decision about your proposal.

I'm pushing it forward.

Malika: Lucia told me to ask

councilman gonzales and brown

to co-sponsor my proposal, and they both said no.

I have a friend who's an aide in gonzales' office.

She told me that lucia asked him not to.

Good news!

Since gonzales and brown declined,

I got two other council members on board.

What?

Then you could merge them with bulk beauty.

Evan buying revitalize is our only option.

Joaquin: My sister left home eight years ago

and I have no idea where she's at.

Let's do a deep dive on socials,

reach out to friends.

I don't want to do stand-up anymore.

Did something happen on tour?

Did you tell anybody?

It's over. I'm fine.

Have you heard from your folks?

I sent them the ultrasound. They didn't respond.

My parents' love has always been conditional.

Dennis: Just to clear something up about being wanted.

I did want you. It wasn't just need.

Luca: You still have feelings for him.

Davia: No.

I mean, you know, I'll always have feelings for him,

but I'm very clear that I don't wanna be with him.

Luca: Then why do you care what he would think?

Joaquin: I shouldn't have-- I shouldn't have done that.

Mariana: You can't give up looking for your sister.

Dyonte: Why didn't you tell me?

Malika: I didn't wanna hurt your feelings.

Dyonte: You know, maybe this isn't gonna work.

Alice: Hello? Anybody here?

Gael: I'm gonna tell her how I feel.

What? You don't approve?

Davia: I just want you to be careful

because isabella's been sketchy in the past.

I will have to buy both companies to merge them,

but obviously, you four will remain as the board

and sole partners.

It's your show to run.

My participation will be totally hands off.

This is your company.

Well, we appreciate that,

but given what happened before with activism,

we do want an option to buy you out

as soon as possible.

Absolutely.

And you should know that I've shut down activism.

I should've done it sooner,

and also addressed the problems at speckulate.

A person in my position has a responsibility

to make the work environment...

And the world...

A better place.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see that.

Wow!

-Thanks. -Thank you.

That's really great to hear.

Well, I'll get the lawyers to iron out the details as soon as possible

so I can make the offer to jackie.

Uh, what if she refuses to sell?

Don't worry.

: I make her an offer

she can't refuse.

Godfather.

It will be a good offer.

What?

I mean...

It's obvious you and evan are still into each other.

Your chemistry is off the chart.

Rachel: Oooh, is it hot in here?

what we're trying to say

is if you still have feelings for evan,

then we don't want to be standing in the way of--

True love.

Hey, you.

Hey! I miss you.

Malika: I miss you too.

Dyonte: Are you free tonight?

-I'm seeing angelica tonight. -Dyonte: Hmm.

Malika: What about tomorrow?

I was actually hoping

you could join a protest I'm leading tomorrow.

It's, uh, as part of my rest campaign.

It's in chesterfield square,

supporting community members fighting for a green space

instead of another retail development.

-Absolutely! I'll be there. -Dyonte: Thank you.

Oh, and you'll recognize me

as the good-looking guy in the front with the megaphone.

See you tomorrow.

Councilwoman hernandez!

Hello! Thank you, again,

for co-sponsoring the women's center proposal.

Of course. Hope it works out.

Why was hernandez here?

She wants a favor,

in exchange for co-sponsoring your proposal,

just as we said she would.

You know, you've put lucia in a very difficult position.

what?

Um, my parents called.

They're in town and they wanna have dinner.

Is... That good?

I don't know. They sounded nice.

Maybe they've come around

and they wanna be in the baby's life after all.

And yours.

Okay, I don't wanna get too excited,

but why would they invite me to dinner

just to tell me they haven't changed their minds?

Exactly. This is-- This is great!

Right?

Okay, shit, I have to figure out what to wear.

desi: Hey, have you seen luca?

I didn't know he was a friend of yours!

I just thought he was a squatter.

What if he was?

And why would you assume that he's dangerous?

Now, I can't even contact him

because he left his phone behind.

Hi! Here. Present. Ready to go.

Great. Get warmed up.

I'm so sorry about what happened to you.

Why didn't you just tell kelly that you're my friend?

I-- I didn't want to get you in trouble.

You won't! You can just stay with me at the coterie.

Oh, no, no. No. I'm-- I'm okay. Really.

Um, it's just, uh,

after the show, I'm gonna hit the road.

Uh, for my-- for my costumes.

You don't have to pay me back all at once.

I just don't like being in debt to anyone.

All right. I'm gonna get changed.

I'm sorry, uh, that was-- that was my bad.

Um, I just need

I'm sorry, uh, that was-- tno problem, take five.

Okay, thanks.

hey, uh, did-- did I mess you up?

Oh, no! Not at all. Um...

I'm sorry, I just think I'm starting to, uh, get nervous.

I ended up inviting the entire coterie to the show

and I didn't stop to think that no one's ever seen me like this before.

Especially... Certain people.

Like dennis?

-I'm sorry. -No. No, no. It's, uh--

I-- no-- I just-- so I just got, like, the feeling

that there's history there.

Yeah, so much history. Fraught history.

And now, every time I'm dancing,

I'm just thinking, you know, what is he gonna think.

Right.

I've never been... Sexy in front of him before.

I mean, even though we've had sex. Once.

I just-- I don't know,

I've never, like, stuck my butt in his face.

-Sorry. Tmi. -No, no, that's not it.

I get it. I do.

So you just--

I mean, you still have feelings for him?

No.

I mean, I-- I'll always have feelings for him,

but I'm very clear that I don't wanna be with him.

Then why do you care what he would think?

Alice: Fired already? Who's eating my macaroni?

I'm so hungry.

Did you just get up?

Yeah.

I need to go grocery shopping.

Oh, wait! Instacart! Duh!

When was the last time you left the coterie?

Um... I don't know, a while.

I mean, why do I have to leave?

Alice...

Are you scared to leave?

No.

You're still coming to davia's show tomorrow night though, right?

Um, I don't know.

I think I might be coming down with something.
