The Arrangement

Previously on "The Arrangement"...

Megan Morrison. You're an actress, right?

I am in fact an actress.

Or are you just a waitress who's trying to act?

Nic? What's going on? Nothing's going on.

Who are you? I'm Annika, and I'm pregnant.

You slept with her? Oh, my God.

What are you doing? Megan?

You better start doing whatever actor-y shit

it is you need to do to get ready,

because you've only got two hours.

Until what?

Until you read with Kyle West.

The whole world wants to work with Kyle West.

He could do whatever he wants.

I'm going to Oslo.

It's the only way to stop this.

What makes you think that you can stop it?

Megan, wait.

That was what acting is supposed to be.

Can I take you to lunch?

Kyle's not in a good place.

Is there any way of getting Lisbeth's itinerary for Venice?

There's always a way.

I never thought Lisbeth would just bail on me at our wedding.

Did she ever explain herself?

Something about getting lost in my world.

Took that nobody actress to Mexico.

I don't want to clean up another train wreck.

Well, then let's makes sure this one stays on the rails.

This is an offer from Kyle West. For the movie?

He's offering you a contract marriage.

We just met.

I think that you are amazing.

Come to Venice with me.

To Italy?

You're off to a great start.

But you have to keep doing it. I plan to.

Okay, Annika, let's see what we can do

about getting you an agent.

Imagine a table in front of you.

Now take the last 48 hours of your life

and lay it on that table.

Spread it out, and take a good look at your work.

It's extraordinary, isn't it?

Each you came here feeling lost

and trapped by a narrative written by others.

And in four days...

just four days...

you found the vision to design the blueprint

for your better self.

And this is just the beginning.

From now on, when you look at your life

and the people in it,

things will look different.

Non-productives will fade to the background,

while possibility comes into focus.

But be prepared

as you begin to build your new life,

people from your old life may disagree with your design.

Just keep building

and know that IHM is always here for you.

You're looking through the right end of the telescope now.

You want to get a quick workout in before breakfast?

I just showered.

But maybe

you had a different kind of workout in mind.

Say hi to Ben.

Hi, Ben.

I'm Megan.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

I thought I could play this cool, but this...

this is really awkward, isn't it?

Um, not at all.

That's not true. Okay.

I'm gonna just get my towel now.

You worked up an appetite.

Well, I had an appetite before we worked out, remember?

Sorry, I'm gonna work on my timing.

Your call with Andres is in five minutes.

What call with Andres?

He wants your notes on the script before you head to Venice.

Mm, I have to get going too.

I have some shopping to do for the trip.

Well, you can handle this.

All right.

Handle what? You don't have to go shopping.

We're taking care of whatever you need for Venice.

Oh.

Now, is your passport current?

Um, maybe.

No problem.

We'll expedite if necessary. Okay.

Any dietary restrictions or food allergies?

I'm not really a big fan of flan.

Noted.

Any pillow preferences?

Thin... I guess.

It's really more of the essentials I'm freaking out about,

like a dress for the premiere.

Don't freak out.

Kyle's stylist is outfitting you for the entire event.

Oh.

Well, my stylist is busy, so that makes sense.

She'll come to you.

Will 6:00 p.m. work? Yeah, I can do 6:00.

Great.

Thanks, Ben.

Sorry to interrupt the flow.

I feel like I've never written a book before,

which is probably right where I need to be, but...

Probably.

I see you've made plans to join us in Venice.

That's because I couldn't bear the thought

of being here without you.

Oh, I imagine that must be very hard for you.

Hmm.

It's getting hard for you, actually.

You're marrying me.

Does it feel as false for you as it does for me?

It feels defensive.

That's because I know you don't want me to come to Venice.

Because you know I'm right.

The world is watching to see how Kyle reacts when he sees Lisbeth.

It's not a good look to have his life advisor following him around.

Well, it'll be worse if things go sideways.

They won't.

Look, let me go be the movie producer.

You stay here and write your book.

Kyle will have Megan with him. He can lean on her.

Do you really think this girl is capable of handling this?

You guys.

Is this the one? Check me out.

Work it. Work it. Work it. Oh.

Oh, my God. Yes, yes.

Oh, it's beautiful. This is absolutely the one.

Are you in love? Oh, my God, completely.

I was just wondering what you thought of maybe

shortening this one just below the knee.

All the clothes have been pre-approved.

I can't alter them.

Pre-approved by who?

By Kyle?

His people.

Kyle has people. His people.

Do his people know what Lisbeth is wearing?

I mean, they're all amazing, of course,

but wouldn't it be cool to have one with a little extra edge?

Not if it doesn't complement Kyle,

but that being said, we can enhance what we already have.

Shut up. Shut up.

What? Shut up.

What? Oh, my God.

Just a little $80,000 grace note.

What?

This is so heavy.

I died.

Oh, my G...

I'm dying. I'm speechless.

What? You look amazing.

I know what your problem is. Oh, my God.

I don't think she has a problem. She does.

She does have a problem, 'cause she doesn't have an assistant.

You are not going to be my drunk assistant.

No, no, no, no. You need somebody to talk to

while Kyle's doing red carpet interview-y stuff.

Come on!

Jesus, Nic.

So it's true?

It's true. Oh, my God.

I guess that explains why you haven't returned my calls.

Yeah, that and the fact that you're other girlfriend is pregnant.

Oh, you know what? It's okay. I'll just...

I'll talk to him myself.

Nic, could you please...

Awesome.

I will cut you!

Suck a dick, Hope.

Three days ago, we were on our way to Two Bunch Palms

to talk about our future, Megan.

Talk about our future? Nic, don't even try that.

That was my plan.

Your plan was to, like, smoke weed

and binge-watch "House of Cards."

And talk about our future.

Nic, we never had a future.

Wow, okay. You... well, you knew that.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have slept with that girl.

What a minute. What are you talking about?

Are you trying to blame our problems on me? Are you serious?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I didn't say that.

You know what? You can't upgrade past your shit, Megan.

Kyle West is a movie star.

He's just looking for some nobody hot actress

to keep him warm for a week,

and he's gonna be real bummed

when he finds out you can't even do that.

Go to hell. I'm on my way.

You'll be registered under Michael and Elizabeth Connor.
