- Please give me my phone.
You are way too young for me.
- Whoa, whoa, I'm 26, dude.
I mean, we gotta be the same age, give or take.
- No one wants to hire a 40 year old has been,
telling him you're 26.
- You've been out of school for four years?
- I got the job.
- I'm Kelsey Peters.
I'm an Editor here,
basically I was you two years ago.
- If you say so.
- Why is talking to you?
If he's feeling a little bit drift since the divorce
which you know, it's totally normal.
- And where do you gather these little nuggets
of wisdom from,
Buzzfeed?
- Welcome to the inner circle, Liza.
Friends for life.
- I'm part of the crew now,
I have bitches Maggie, and we roll.
It's like if I was really 26 and I could start all over
that is the man I'd be falling in love with.
Maggie without you, I'd be back in Jersey drinking
Bridget Jones daiquiris with my book club.
I owe you my life, my annoying 26 year old life.
- You're sure you're 26?
- You're living in a shadow world.
And sometimes every now
and then you have to play by shadow rules.
- I've always thought of myself as the nicest person
but as it turns out, I'm kind of a sociopath.
- I love you.
- I love you too, Josh.
That's why I have to tell you this.
I'm a 40 year old mom from New Jersey.
- Well you're kind of a lunatic,
aren't you?
- I've never felt more like the real me
than I have have spending these last few months with you.
- Hi. - I'm Liza Miller.
I'm 40. I'm divorced.
- Charles, just gave me my own imprint.
It's gonna be huge.
And I want you to be a part of it.
- To Kelsey, the new editor-in-chief of Millennial Print.
- And to Liza,
my Co-Millennial run the world before we're 30.
- So were you ever gonna tell her, you're not a millennial?
- Yeah. Well, Dr. Dre is not doctor.
- You deserve everything that you want.
And I know that I can give it to you.
- What's something you've always wanted to do,
something you couldn't do because of your job?
- Do you really wanna know?
- Ladies who power lunch, am I right?
- You're gonna have to be two people Liza.
You think you can do that?
- I think I can.
- While you're at it,
think about this.
- I'm feeling like such an imposter.
- So do I, every single day.
- I have no idea what I'm doing.
- Kelsey nobody knows what they're doing
you just fake it till you make it.
I'm tired of all the secrets, Maggie.
- Yeah look, I'm tired of skinny jeans,
but you just you know, take a deep breath and hang in there.
- You can tell everybody about me.
I don't really care anymore.
- But wait this isn't over.
- Oh yes it is.
- Please don't ever disappear on me again.
- I wanna be with you,
will you let me in?
I'm all in.
- A hot guy who will lie for you.
What more does anybody want out of a relationship
- Every now and then
something really unexpected comes along.
- If you love him,
be with him.
- You're all begging for more cock.
Um, uh, Crown Kings across the seal.
Okay. I've never said that acronym out loud.
I was just read it.
Liza.
What the hell is going on in here?
- I've been dreaming of this day since I was 12 years old.
- Oh my God. I'm I basic?
- It's amazing the things you'll do to live your dream,
right? Liza.
- Oh, absolutely.
Without you. I would be living in Michelle's pool house
and folding boxer briefs at Nordstrom.
You've given me a home and allowed me to make a better life
for myself than the one I had.
I will never be able to pay you back.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Things are good. Right?
- Yeah. Things are good.
- I love you.
I, I really love you.
- I like you.
- But that was unexpected.
Must have been a one night only kind of thing.
- You were everything to me.
I chose you but you're a liar and cheater.
Your lies are hurting everyone around you.
- I'm not 26.
I'm gonna be 41 in a few weeks.
- I don't understand.
- Then let me explain.
I can't keep lying to the people I love.
Even if it means they're not gonna like me
very much anymore.
- I don't think that I could ever forgive you.
You,
you broke my heart.
- You're pretty much the only person in the world
that understands what I've been going through.
- Yeah, we're like in Liza recovery together.
- I will not, first rule of recovery do not use the L word.
- Kelsey is in a position now to make decisions.
And I would hate to see you let personal drama
get in the way of a promising career.
- I love my job and I think I'm pretty good at it.
And if that isn't good enough for you
then maybe this isn't working.
- Maybe it's not.
- Caitlin, hey,
I have been feeling like a shitty person lately
and now I feel like a really a shitty mom.
So are we in a good place now?
- Yeah, you did what you had to do for your kid.
I would like to think
that my mom would do something crazy like that for me.
We're good.
- Hemingway once called the two of them,
victims of unsynchronized passion.
- Liza?
- Hi.
- And I don't know why you're dating
a 40 something guy in publishing who isn't me.
- God you two in all your feelings just do it.
- I want to tell you something.
- Don't, don't talk.
All we do is talk.
- The janitor.
- Sleeping with the boss doesn't end well
for any of us.
- Then why did you have to kiss him?
- Some part of me needed to blow things up.
Just please tell me that you'll be in my life,
please somehow
there's gotta be a better ending to us than this.
- Charles', ex-wife wrote a book.
It's like a thinly disguise tell all of their marriage.
- Evidently the real reason she wrote the book
was to win Charles Back.
And as her editor, she wants me to help her do that.
- My feelings for you haven't changed.
Nothing's changed.
- Charles everything's changed.
Josh this is Claire, Claire, this is Josh.
- You're helping both the men in your life get
with other women.
- The only way we can keep dating is if I marry her
- What you're gonna marry, Claire?
- That's Zane Anders.
- He's really attractive.
- Yeah. He knows.
- I will also like you
to welcome Empirical's newest Executive editor,
Zane Anders.
- Game on Peter's.
- You and work don't mix well.
- What about you and me?
- A happy ending isn't the worst thing to hope for, right?
- Everything is going to be fine.
- Failure is not an option.
- Pack your bags we're going to Ireland.
To Claire and Josh.
- Claire and Josh.
- It's you Liza,
it's always been you.
I need to put a ring between us.
- That woman is a con artist.
- Liza?
- She's a divorced 40 something housewife from New Jersey.
- Who are you?
- I'm just a woman who lied about her age to get a job.
- You betrayed me.
- Truth is we didn't have the greatest time
on our honeymoon.
She just couldn't lie anymore.
We were never real.
- This isn't working Pauline
and I can pretend I have to pretend so much
in my life and I just can't do it anymore.
- Enzo!
Hello.
Oh my God. I'm going on a date with my plumber.
- When are you gonna trust me again?
- I don't care anymore.
- We can't go back to how we were after this.
- You're ready to take a ride?
- Oh, hello, Ms. Trout.
- Who is this person?
- BT dubs. Love your work.
Love you, love this
love this,
love that.
You know, if you ever need to outsource anything,
I mean anything text me, call me at me, mean it.
- Maybe I'll slide into your DMs.
- Oh, please do diva.
- We have three months of operating expenses left.
If we don't get an investor, Empirical, Millennial
everything that we have all worked for
will just disappear.
- I just wanna put my money where my passion is.
- Is Charles dating anybody?
- I can only keep so many secrets for you, Liza.
- Hey, Claire.
- It's not gonna be easy.
- Nothing worth having comes easy.
- How am I supposed to tell the woman who gave me my job,
that her book sucks?
- You are the publisher now so good luck.
- Kelsey don't make an enemy so soon
in what could be a very long career.
- Would you like to feel it?
- Wow. I'm gonna need you around for this. For real.
- No problem. I got you.
- I love you.
- I am gambling it all.
- Do you have any idea what you just did?
- You're a messy bitch who lives for drama, I stun.
- Diana, will you marry me?
- Yes
(Liza applauds)
- This is exciting.
I'm so excited.
Why aren't you excited?
- Liza please deactivate yourself.
- Liza Miller is 42 years old
and she's been lying shamelessly for years.
- It's true.
It's all true.
- Diana, wait, you stay the hell away from me.
- Fire her.
- I cannot run my company based on your negative press.
Are we done here?
- I guess we are.
- Quinn pulled her funding.
We're broke.
- You can't win the game without playing the game.
- Maybe you did what you had to do
and I can respect that.
You're lucky you hitched a ride into a star.
- I love you too.
- Pow.
- Fire bitches.
- I'm amazing.
- Surprise bachelorette.
- Time to hummer bitch.
- Woo, Lauren.
- Yeah what?
- Relax. - Oh, okay.
- You're scared
of us.
Scared of what we were, of what we still are.
- Don't you tell me what I feel.
- Say you love him more than you love me.
Is that what you need to hear?
- Liza Miller,
will you marry me?
- So how does it end?
- Oh, that's a big question.
- How do you think it ends?
- I don't know.
