Younger

I know we agreed not to react to Liza's news...

Well, I didn't agree to that.

But it's getting hard to ignore the pushback.

Agents are cancelling meetings.

Others are showing up just to see the 40-year-old Millennial.

42 according to "New York" magazine.

Well, mercifully they have a paywall now.

And I got a call from Infinitely 21.

They want to have another meeting

to "clarify final details" of our deal.

The clothing chain? What deal is that?

We negotiated a deal with them

to sell Millennial titles in their stores.

Potentially a major new revenue stream.

A 42-year-old shilling Millennial books

at Infinitely 21.

That'll be a fun headline.

Maybe we have her sit that one out?

We could... rest her for a bit?

I think we need to be more proactive.

Have her reach out to our authors directly.

I think this is crazy.

She lied to you, made you all complicit,

and now it's threatening your business.

But you want to let her get away with it,

allowing her to endanger the company.

You're refusing to put out a very preventable fire.

Write her a nice recommendation

and get her out before she poisons the whole company.

Knock-knock.

I pulled those comps on baby books, so...

here.

Liza, wait.

Don't take this personally.

It sounded pretty personal.

It can't be. I don't know who you are.

- Zane... - Charles.

I know you love her, but as soon as you found out,

you should've reported her to HR.

Or at least told her best friend about it.

I actually knew before he did.

You're all insane.

Ignore him. Millennial is going to be fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

You're killing the deal?!

Nobody said kill.

We just think, given the recent revelations,

that this union isn't as...

straightforward as we thought.

- Does that make any sense? - No.

Because this deal was about selling books,

not about Liza.

The deal was about the brand.

Our brand is fun, sexy, authentic, youthful.

And your brand now represents faking that.

The kiss of death in any youth brand

is being embraced by an older generation.

Do you know what I mean?

This is the exact kind of discrimination

that drove Liza to do this in the first place.

And she can wear all the rompers she wants.

We just don't think this is a smart partnership

for us anymore.

And that is the tea.

Well, uh, you want some tea, Shelly?

Everyone is pretending to be younger.

We dye our hair, we whiten our teeth,

we wear moisturizing face masks

that make us look like serial killers,

and we squeeze our widening hips into Spanx

because the most important thing to be

in the whole goddamn world is 27.

Should I have told the truth? Sure.

But you know what? So should you.

Millennial isn't an age. It's an attitude.

And if you can't sell that, we'll go somewhere else.

Season 06 Episode 09 Title: "Millennial's Next Top Mode"

- Hey. - Good evening.

Enjoying the show?

Oh yeah, it's really timely.

I mean, the one thing we need more of

is male perspective on femininity.

So we agree this exhibit is dogshit.

Except that piece, no?

Hm. I don't know.

I mean, it's a little needy.

The artist is trying way too hard.

And, uh... and standing a little close.

So you know who I am.

Well, how come you're not flipping your hair

like the other girls telling me I'm a genius?

Honey, this hair took me an hour,

and I don't flip it for anybody.

- Well, you are gorgeous. - Oh, thank you.

- It's Maggie, right? - Yeah, Maggie Amato. Hi.

So, Maggie Amato:

tell me what you really think of this piece.

You know, it's less layered than your earlier work.

But it's stunning and interesting and...

Sexy?

I'll take that as a yes.

All right, let me do you.

Show me your work; I'll tell you what I think.

Well, I don't have any pieces here.

Most of my stuff's at my loft.

Oh, excuse me.

Thank you.

All right. Off we go to your loft then.

You're not actually inviting yourself

to my place, are you?

Oh, well, you can invite me

if it'll make you feel more comfortable.

Mm, okay, I'm all out of toppings.

Okay, I am going to raise you...

my emergency bag of Hazelnut Spread M&Ms.

It's half-empty.

It was an emergency kinda day.

I'm out. I won't take your last bag of candy, Liza.

Aw. Thank you, Bianca.

Okay, well, I'm in.

Rats.

- God. - Yes!

I win!

I think that we've all had enough for tonight.

Why don't you two go and, uh, pick up cupcakes for breakfast?

Thank you for putting on a brave face for the girls.

I should be thanking them.

It's the first time I've smiled all day.

It is going to be fine.

Ugh.

You should wait with the girls; I might start crying again.

Hi, Shelly, what'd I do now?

Ah! Such a firecracker.

I love that. Okay, so I talked to our CMO

after your little outburst, and...

we have decided to unfreeze the partnership.

Wait, so you do want to sell Millennial books in your stores?

Yes, and we also want to embrace the brand

the way that you have.

How would you feel about being in our spring campaign?

In it how?

In a miniskirt.

Or a jumpsuit. We're still debating.

What you screamed at me today...

Justifiably, we're still friends, promise...

It resonated.

Why should we narrowcast our brand?

We want you to be the face...

And legs... of Infinitely 21.

Uh...

I don't know what to say.

Say yes. I lobbied hard for this.

Uh...

okay?

Fantastic!

We have to shoot tomorrow,

so get some beauty rest.

- Maggie, you're very... - Gay.

Well, I was gonna say "talented."

I just didn't say it before,

so I thought I should, you know...

say it.

I knew your sexuality when I met you.

If you knew, then why did you come?

I came because I met a stunning woman

who... wasn't afraid to tell me the truth.

I wanted to get to know her better.

Why did you let me in?

Because you're an artist.

Because you're curious.

You're an explorer.

Have you been with men?

A few times in my 20s.

You?

A few times in my 20s.

People are fluid.

If there's an attraction to someone,

who cares what you are and what they are except...

Attracted...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I don't have anything valuable.

Except our cookware.

My roommate won't even let me touch it.

Liza, Liza, relax. He's with me.

Thank you.

I'm with her.

And now you're going.

Ciao. What-

- Good morning. Are you bi now?

Oh, please. I'm still a Kinsey 9.

It only goes up to 6.

Liza, don't straight-splain sexuality to me.

Haven't you ever had a talent crush?

Not a big enough one to defect.

Well, every ten years or so,

I run into the path of a penis.

And for whatever reason...

Whether it's a talent crush or ecstasy

or a good parking spot...

- What? - It just seems like a good idea,
