Hopefully.

Yeah.

I don't think the chemistry between

you and Terrance is really working.

I just got him the best job...

Yeah, but the way the client feels...

...is as important as the

work we got for them.

If they are not happy...

- What is this really about?

Warren and I feel that,

an actor of Terrance Robb's stature,

should have the most seasoned agent.

You know I can't afford a demotion like that.

And legally I...

- As a junior agent.

Even if there were a law suit

You'll never get another job in this town.

So I'm fired?

We at the agency support you.

and wishes you all the best

in your future endeavors.

Where's the tape?

- Yeah.

Last piece of the board going on.

Alright.

- Looking good, right?

Yeah. You want to show him the best part?

The is the best part.

That....

My job is the best part.

- No, it is not.

Look at this.

Checked that out.

Oh.

It is a new take on history.

Oh, I love it.

I love...

...it...

too...

Good job, man.

Well look,

I got to go.

Oh hey. If you're not doing

anything on Saturday,

Maybe we can take Cory out to LACMA.

I think the councilor is right that

we should work with him as a team.

Yeah, I think I can...

I can get into that... I mean.

I like that.

See you then.

Whatchu got?

Better keep practicing that.

because I coming back for you.

I'll be back.

Go to bed.

4TH OF JULY

KEITH'S MANSION

What are you doing?

Oh. I'm press.

I'm covering the party.

My name is Viviane Rhimes.

No, you're not.

I read her column everyday.

And this is a private party.

Let's go.

But um.

Wait.

Keith. Keith.

Keith.

Oh.

Can I at least use the bathroom?

Got you.

You're the Wednesday afternoon,

right?

I mean there's so many of you

it's hard to keep track.

And then there's the Thursday night

Lithuanian basketball player, who I love.

She's my favorite.

Honey, there is nothing that happens

in Keith's life that I don't know about.

Is your credit card still working?

I told him to raise your limit.

Let me tell you how it is.

He does his thing and I do my thing.

And I... Well, I get to keep

the black card and the...

...court side Lakers' seats.

And he gets to stay the nice,

safe happy family man...

...for a very nervous corporate board.

Until he gets sloppy,

and baby did he get sloppy.

So, why don't you climb into

your broke down 98 Accord,

or whatever the hell it is you drive.

And remind yourself.

He will never leave her.

This will never be my house.

This will never be my wedding ring.

And you'll never have my life.

Bye, silly goose.

That's what you think.

How many days have you been like this?

- A week.

You have got to start looking

for another job.

I have...

'We regret to inform you...'

- Please, don't.

I couldn't hear it anymore.

I'm official persona non grata.

You think they did a number on you.

Probably, but...

Even if they didn't,

no one is hiring, Viv.

What is that?

Pancake mix.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, honey.

I don't want to answer it.

Hello.

Trista Miller's phone.

Hi,

Nate.

Let me see if she's available?

- No.

I'm so sorry,

she is busy.

Could I have her return your call?

Thank you.

Now, now, now...

For my news.

We're going to Cleveland.

Yeah...

It's the Hall of Fame induction.

I'm covering it for my job.

I can't effort it, Viv. I'm unemployed.

- I'm paying.

My job is paying.

I...

You know, I don't pay.

And Amaya is coming too,

because Keith is gonna...

...get us a room or something.

God.

- Some kind of deal he...

I will take that as a 'yes.'

Plus, there's a big surprise

when you get there.

180 DAYS REMAINING

CLEVELAND, OH

I don't care what happened or who did it,

We're going to have

some fun this weekend.

Hey.

Hi, baby.

Shawn would love this.

What I love, is Viviane's column today.

Did you all see it?

A deal is a deal, baby.

- Thank you.

Shawn and I made a deal with Cory.

That if he gets straight 'A's,

we're gonna take him to Disneyland.

What's with the mentionitis.

- Yeah.

I'm not mentionitis.

Yeah, you do. That's 2 Shawns

in the last minute.

I got to make a phone call.

Who are you calling?

- Uh-huh.

Bye, Shawn.

We love you, Shawn.

So...

Any ideas on The Vow?

I'm pretty close on mine.

- What's the vow?

Some stupid...

- The best idea we ever had.

We're all getting married in a year,

and the year started at your wedding.

Why?

- So we can be happy.

Then take a vow and be happy.

One and the same.

- No, it's not.

I am married.

- And you're happy.

No, I'm not.

Not all the time anyway.

I have to make concession

for another person...

...whose taking up more space

than I'm used to giving.

I quit my job at the hospital.

Why did you quit your job?

We were trying to get pregnant and...

I miscarried.

Oh...

Elise.

Baby, why didn't you tell us?

- Yeah.

I was embarrassed.

Baby, that is not your fault.

I was embarrassed it was so relieved.

Well, when Keith and I get married,

I'm going to be happy.

Well I hope no one tries to break it up.

You could at least be happy for me.

I was happy for you

when you got on team Robb.

For all the good that did you.

Well I didn't hurt anyone to get that.

You are destroying a marriage.

You can't destroy something

that's not already broken.

Really?

The law of gravity disagrees.

You know, Trista?

If things don't work out between

you and the men you date,

Maybe the problem is you.

And you need to look in the mirror...

...instead of throwing

all the shade in my way.

And P.S.

I know that's why you really

don't want to represent me.

If I had a man and a career,

what would you have to laud over?

No, the truth is.

The reason I don't represent you.

Is because being on a cover

of a 'Dark and Lovely' box,

a decade and a half ago,

doesn't make you an actress.

I've done a lot more since then, Trista.

- Oh, you heard that thing

And you know it.

You're right. I didn't tell

the biggest agency in the world.

That they just have to take the girl who

sells Compton's own catfish for J & J.

Aren't you from Compton, Trista?

I don't have a problem

being from Compton.

No? You act like you do have a problem...

Hey, It's Shawn.

I can't get to the phone right now.

But if you leave me a message,

I'll call you right back.

Hello?

I'm... I'm so sorry,

I... I think I have the wrong number.

Are you looking for Shawn?

Yes

Okay, this is his girlfriend,

But he just ran back inside with his son.

Stop it.

- You stop.

Stop it.

Give me my hat.

Would you stop it?

- No, it is her.

You're the one whiner.

What?

And you called me a nerd.

She called me lonely

I didn't say you were lonely

I just said you couldn't keep a man.

You can only keep somebody else's man.

And that doesn't count.

But I have a man.

Here,

don't uh-uh...

You're not going to walk away from me.

You know why you can't throw your

walled degree or career in my face.

I'm not doing this with you, Amaya.

- Trista.

Of cause you don't want to.

Of course you don't
