This imprint's going to be amazing.
I am so happy for you, Kels.
For us... I told you that we were gonna be
running this place soon.
We're like "Steve Jobs in the garage"
phase of our career.
- We are Oprah in Baltimore. - Yeah?
When are you gonna start making that Oprah money, huh?
When are you?
Okay, I'm ready to toast.
I just needed more Vodka for my rocks.
Wait. We can't toast. Josh isn't here yet.
Oh, I think I want to tell Josh the big news on my own.
Too late. I already invited him.
- Hey. - Hi.
I came as quick as I could.
So what are we celebrating here?
Not a raise.
To Kelsey, the new editor in chief of Millennial Print.
I couldn't be prouder.
You, my friend, are a shining example of what it means
to be a bomb-ass female.
And to Liza, my co-millennial,
to running the world before we're 30!
- Yes! - Whoo.
So were you ever gonna tell her?
Of course I was,
but then she wanted me to be a part
of this new imprint targeting millennials.
But, babe, you're not a millennial.
Yeah, well, Dr. Dre's not a doctor.
So you're just gonna keep on lying to Kelsey?
All I know is that I can't start over
in this business as a 40 year-old.
I get it, but I want to live an authentic life,
and that's just who I am.
Okay, what if for now we just don't hang out with work people?
Look, I think I just...
I think I need some time to wrap my head around all this.
Okay.
No problem.
I'm sorry I'm so complicated.
I'll call you later.
Yeah, you have a good day too, ma'am.
Damn, I miss slamming down the phone.
What's going on?
A buyer reneged.
You know, after a long conversation with her husband,
she came to the conclusion that Glass Nipple Lady
was too much for her entryway.
Aw, seems like a great reminder to wear warm clothes.
I was counting on that piece selling
in order to pay the rent.
Well, maybe they'll let us slide a month?
They already have.
I'm gonna have to go to plan B and B.
I keep a profile on Airbnb for times like these.
I'll just have to rent the place out.
Can you stay with your tween heartthrob this weekend?
We still haven't talked.
I've been totally focused on work,
and he's been totally focused on not calling me.
Well, he should just get over it.
I mean, women lie about their age all the time.
It's not a new concept.
Yeah, but to him, it is.
Josh doesn't lie.
It's one of the beautiful things about him
I'd really like to change.
Ugh, people are just so goddamn good now.
We all used to lie and eat gluten
and smoke cigarettes and hang up on each other.
Remember that?
Yeah, now people just eat kale
and tell the truth.
A-holes.
Liza and I are just finalizing the details
for the launch party this Friday.
Oh, well, do share.
I have been on pins and needles ever since I learned
it would be in an old bone boiling plant.
The Glue Factory is
the hottest party spot in Greenpoint,
and we didn't really plan it as a typical imprint launch.
We are targeting millennial readers.
Then I assume you'll be inviting authors and literati.
I would love to see a list.
Actually, uh, bloggers and digerati.
I'm talking about expanding our reach on social media.
We're inviting all the key influencers and cyber elite...
The Fat Jewish, The Waifish Mormon,
Pompous Croissant, Manreppeller,
The Wicked Bitch of Greenpoint,
oh, and the dude who created, uh, Pizza Rat.
Well, it seems like you've got this all covered.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in my crypt.
What's The Fat Jewish?
5 1/2 million followers on Instagram.
Whole new world.
Liza!
Have you tweeted for Richard Russo today?
- Yep. - Have you checked
the Barnes & Noble eyeline placement
for the latest Katie Lee cookbook?
- Did it. - Set up the podcast interviews
for Elizabeth Warren's new autobiography?
Done. She's such a sweetheart.
When she's getting her way.
Here. A Fitbit?
It is not a gift. I need you to wear it.
Jackie Dunne and I from Ballantine
are having a friendly competition.
I need you to out-step her today.
I want to destroy her.
So just walk?
Just walk.
Bear in mind, Jackie has a treadmill desk.
Wait!
I understand you have new responsibilities, Liza.
You have to keep a lot of plates spinning,
but my plates take priority.
My plates can't drop.
My plates are the reason you still get a paycheck.
- Got it? - Got it.
You're gonna have to be two people, Liza.
Think you can do that?
I think I can.
What is that, some sort of plaid diaper?
What's going on?
Diana's in some sort of exercise challenge,
and she's making me compete for her.
I feel like I'm in "The Hunger Games."
Katniss, I have good news for you.
Lauren is totally hooking us up.
We're getting dressed for the party by Hector and Dorff,
and our fitting's right now.
Awesome. Can we walk there?
Kelsey, Liza,
meet Hector and Dorff,
the creative visionaries behind everything
you will see, touch, smell, and taste here.
Hector, Dorff, this is Kelsey, our woman of the hour,
- Hi. - And Liza.
I'm just a lowly assistant.
Pull stock for her.
You guys, this place is amazing.
Refreshments.
Mm.
We have schnapps.
Do you have any water?
This isn't Bloomingdale's.
Hey, hey, Lisa.
Everything on this rack is your size, Lisa, okay?
- Uh, Liza. - No, I can't say that.
- It tickles my tongue. - Okay.
Oh.
I love it.
- Ah. - Kelsey, you look hot.
That's the slip.
Oh, no, you silly girl.
Kelsey, you are so cute, I could feed you from my hand.
Ah, totally.
But it is your special night, okay?
And you're a boss,
so we're going to make you look like a boss.
Okay, like a boss.
You need a dress that is serious,
a dress that says, "Here I am, but I'm busy.
Look at me, but don't."
Which just so happens to be our signature kind of dress.
Lucky for you.

I cannot believe I'm running an imprint.
I never thought that I would be here at this age.
I definitely never thought I'd be here at this age.
I always thought it'd be more, like, at 30.
30? No, girl, you want to be successful
while you're still young.
Okay, Liza, what's the latest guest count?
107, but The Book Ninja just RSVP'd,
and The Double Negatives say they're not not coming.
Ooh, always on brand.
Hey, what about Josh?
Because I saw that he opened the invite,
but he didn't respond.
Uh, I don't know.
We haven't talked in a while.
Like, how long?
I don't know. Like, a week.
Oh, come on, you guys. I mean, it's no big deal.
He's been busy.
No, no, no, not so busy that he hasn't had time
to Instagram eating a peanut sundae
with his chubby roommate at the Brooklyn Farmacy.
I saw that. He also popped up on my Facebook
congratulating me on the imprint.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, he's communicating
with everyone but her.
Liza, Josh is ghosting you.
Who's ghosting who?
