Gosh.

That's it.

I can't do this anymore.

- It's what I just said.

I got to make Keith divorce his wife

and marry me this year.

That's not what I just said.

- You know what? Me too.

Me too what?

I'm getting married this year too.

I want Cory to have a family.

A real... full-time people on TV family.

Shawn and I broke up

before Cory was even born,

But I've never stopped loving him.

I don't want Cory's knowledge of

male and female relationship...

...to be this weird and

tensed communication...

...between his dad and I.

Because I...

I want to tell him I love him.

And I can't.

It's just like me and Keith.

I know he loves me, why he just...

- It's nothing like you and Keith.

I just have to try fulfill that dream

with somebody else.

And if it doesn't happen...

...this year.

I'm going to talk to Shawn...

...about Cory and I moving to New York.

- What?

My family is there.

My parents are there. And.

I want Cory to see what people in love

looked like, on a daily basis.

Okay. But how would...

How would that even worked?

You can't make yourself

be married in a year.

I submit that we...

...make a vow.

That we're gonna get married...

- Or engaged.

Within a year.

- Or what?

Or we call that guy.

That guy.

The one that has love us forever,

but we're just not attracted to.

Greg.

- Jeffery.

And we marry him.

Okay.

I'm in.

Me too.

Well then it's on.

We make a vow that this time next year,

Hell or high water,

- 10, 9.

we'll be married.

- 8.

Or engaged.

- 7, 6, 5.

Or else.

- 4.

3, 2, 1.

Happy New Year.

365 DAYS REMAINING

So here's the plan.

We do internet dating, blind date

1 minute dating.

We go where the men are.

Steak houses, sports bars.

Guys,

I'm not doing any of that.

I'm marrying Keith,

not some random stranger.

Maybe it's a good time

to meet someone new.

It's a new year,

maybe time for a new guy.

One without a wife.

Keith's wife is an alley cat who

cheated on him and embarrassed him.

Yeah, but that was a rumor.

- Oh really?

Maybe we should try a matchmaker.

WOMEN. 2 CARATS.

1 YEAR. ...

...THE

CLOCK IS TICKING...

XOXO, TRISTA...

...THE VOW

Oh my god.

Would you watch where you're going?

How am I suppose to go

to our staff meeting like this?

I think you look good like that.

Hey, I was kidding.

Come on.

It's a compliment.

Don't act like you don't have a

shirt like that in your office right now.

So if the single is 'When I Fall in Love',

the B side is 'Working Day and Night.'

Aiming for a promotion

at an agency like this...

...means a 16 hour a day commitment.

But it's worth it.

Rooms like this is where we decide...

...what you will be watching

2 years from now.

So 'Seven Days', the spec Jordana Jones

is suppose to attach to...

...just made 'The Black List'.

I'm going to package it...

Thank you, Trista.

I think everybody wants to deal

with the Terrance Robb thing.

Before I start,

I want to make this clear.

Terrance Robb is the guy right now.

He thinks us passing on

'A Dirty Job', cost him an Oscar.

Now, how do we convince him that

this is still the best place for him,

when he's right?

'A Dirty Job' was too girdy for him.

Terrance Robb is America's

action hero next door.

We don't want to see him

having sex in back alley ways.

We want to see him saving

puppies from alien invasions.

And that helps the current problem, how?

With such a high volume of

clients and scripts.

No good.

- But I wasn't finished.

The path you're going down,

smaller is better...

...is not for the agency.

Hey guy, listen.

Terrance Robb,

like every other actor on earth,

really wants to be a musician.

Why are we not using this

to our advantage?

There's always one other black guy,

Smirk, Ivy leaguer.

I rather drop dead than date his sister.

And his off golfing every weekend,

while you're buried in scripts.

And for some reason,

it works for him.

I like it.

Who's that?

- Amaya.

I gave her keys in case

her boyfriend puts her out.

Why would you even say

something like that?

'Cos he's got a wife,

and she got to come home.

Why would he do that?

- You don't know.

Because he got a wife.

Hoo, hoo, hoo...

What?

Ha, ha, ha...

Yeah.

Oh no...

I just want you to see what I've stooped to.

My boyfriend is one of the most

powerful man in the music business.

What's left of the music business.

And I have to sell fish on the side of a road,

in a suit they can't even reuse...

...caused it's so musty from all the

other commercials they've done.

Oh, baby.

- Can you smell me?

Yes.

Here's dinner,

by the way.

Aw, well.

- Thank you.

If it helps,

I had one of those days too.

Oh really? You had to sit

in the hot sun and eat...

...greasy sandwiches for 10 takes,

while trying not to puke?

No, not exactly like that.

But...

God, thank you.

- You're welcome.

You know if Keith and I were official.

And he wasn't married.

And everyone knew we were together,

I wouldn't have to take parts as a fish.

Thank you.

To be able to practise my craft.

If you spend half the time on your craft

than you do on Keith,

You might have an Oscar by now.

Or Golden Globe,

or Tony.

A couple of Emmys.

BET Awards.

Ha, ha, ha...

NAACP.

No, I'm sorry.

I hate you all.

- No, here. Try put this on.

I was very comfortable just like this.

Of course.

You look nice, baby.

- Thank you.

What were you all doing anyway?

Online dating profiles.

Trista is making me do it.

Yes, I am.

So she doesn't flake.

You sure you don't want us

to do one for you?

I already have a boyfriend.

I... I see that.

I'm sick of you diminishing

my relationship, Trista.

What Keith and I have is real.

I know it's not conventional.

- Or right.

But I caught a break with Keith.

And I'm gonna make it worked, okay.

You know I wouldn't

have to dress up like a fish.

if someone would represent me.

I knew this was going to coming up.

Just putting the agency on my resume

would be life changing. Tris.

It probably wouldn't, Amaya.

I mean you would get no attention at...

...an agency that big when you're so...

Small.

Ah-huh.

You heard it.

You heard it.

No.

That is not what I meant.

They just want us to sign clients

with the ability to make money...

...as soon as they walked in the door.

And right now...

- Just forget it.

It just....

I don't want you to think that

I'm not listening to you, Amaya.

Okay.

What turns you on?

A passport and a library card.

- Sexy.

A big...

- Career.

Oh... you're being nasty.

Okay.

Good looking.

- Yeah.

Great family..

Maybe he does something in finance.

Say you were doing good. You were

until you started describing Damon.

You're right. Okay, supportive.

- Yes.

That's not Damon.

- No.

And knows when I'm up

at 3 am reading scripts.

The answer to any questions involving

chocolate or caffeine is...

Yes.

That's good. I like it.

- Yeah, me too.

You know, Viv?

You could be a lot more supportive too.

Oh, oh.

Oh. So now you're coming for me?
