Knock, knock. Did someone order a host?
I can't work with that guy.
Maybe we can convince them to cast someone else.
- Like who? - Me.
What's wrong?
Yuri, the artist I used to work for,
he's showing a new collection of paintings
in the style I created for him.
And since I didn't actually paint them for him,
he's gonna get away with not paying me a commission.
The producers have decided
to have Serena do the staged reading.
No, this is New York all over again.
- Davia, that is-- - No, I never should have trusted you again.
IVAN: Gotta pay to beg on my street.
- (kick thuds) - (groans)
LUCA: We're done. I never want to see your face again.
Give you 500 bucks
to beat the crap out of that dude.
MAN: He's feeling the pain.
I still have to track down your alien ID number.
Don't share your status with anyone.
We're going to film what we did today so we can post it.
Luca.
I can't be a part of this today.
You told Riley that you knew I was unhoused before I told her.
LADLE: I have feelings for you.
JENNA: What was this?
SILAS: It's an old yurt for storage.
Got damaged in a storm, so we took it down.
We have a warrant to search the property.
(phone ringing)
Silas has Jenna's phone.
Jenna!
I can't believe she chose to go back there.
I shouldn't have let her leave here.
MARIANA: Evan can't remember
the last two years of his life.
CALLIE: But they did say that he might get his memory back.
- I love you. - I love you too.
(fire crackling)
MARIANA: Please:
(gasping)
(steam hissing)
(Mariana groaning)
Please... Please just let me out.
You can't leave
until we've cleansed your mind
and your spirit of your demons, Mariana.
Just let me out.
(gasping)
JOAQUIN: Hey, you okay?
Yeah, just... a bad dream.
Do you, do you want to talk about it?
Not really.
So I know that emotions were kind of high last night.
So, you know, if this is just something that happened
and you're still figuring things out,
that's...
I get it.
No.
I'm ready to move on.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
God, I'm just so worried about Jenna.
I can't believe she went back to Silas.
I just-- I don't know what to do.
There may not be anything you can do.

(hammer clanging)
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Hey.
(water pouring)
- Where's Silas? - Out in the fields.
He's trying to protect us from those looking
to destroy our harmony here.
Especially with all this Madison nonsense.
She disconnected from the source and left,
just like Silas told us.
(dishes clatter)
I was in the sweat lodge with Madison
during the purification ceremony.
Sweat lodge?
Yeah.
The yurt used to be over there.
It was so hot inside.
Madison was having a really hard time.
We were all struggling, but... Silas
kept bringing hot stones in and pouring water over them.
MADISON: Please... Please, no. I wanna get out of here.
HOLLY: Madison was begging Silas to let her out.
He said it was her demons rising in her.
And the more she resisted,
the more they would make her sick.
He finally let the rest of us leave,
but he made her stay. (sniffles)
I was, I was afraid for her.
And then the next day,
Silas told us that she left the farm.
Did you believe him?
Of course.
Silas is our salvation.
Yes, he is.
I learned that when I left
and I was plunged into darkness.
We have to protect his light
from those who want to destroy him.
Like your brother?
Especially my brother.
How are you feeling this morning?
Sick to my stomach.
I still can't believe I let myself trust Ethan.
I wish there was something I could do,
besides kick his ass.
(Davia chuckles)
(Davia moans)
Hey, speaking of people you can't trust,
are you sure you want to get in deeper with Ranjit
and his investor buddies?
I mean, what if he has a serious coke problem
and that's why he gambled away your dad's money?
I don't have a choice.
I-I can't let down my father. I have to pay him back.
And I need that money to keep the restaurant open.
For now, Ranjit's a fact of life I need to live with.
Okay, but the longer you do,
the more I'm afraid you're going to regret it.
YURI: Oh, there he is.
The masked muralist himself.
GEM.
You know, I can't say I particularly enjoyed
your latest piece of street art, if you can call it that.
(chuckles)
I mean, what is it, computer generated?
So you've gone from painting to pasting in my absence.
I'm disappointed. I thought you wanted to be a real artist.
At least it's my work and not someone else's
I'm trying to pass off as my own.
Oh, I painted every piece of my new show.
(laughs) Yeah,
based on a new style I created.
And some of those are just knockoffs of pieces
I already painted for you.
Yuri, you owe me commission on every piece you sell.
I owe you nothing!
But I happen to believe in you.
So I'm going to open the door to an opportunity
that is going to guarantee you
the career you want as a fine artist.
The gallery shows, the residencies, the...
the credit that you so desperately think you deserve.
Not to mention the big fat checks.
Oh, yeah? And how are you going to do that?
Because I've arranged a meeting for you with Frank Barda.
Yeah.
The famous modern artist Frank Barda.
He's looking for a new apprentice.
Speechless?
Thought that might happen.
Oh, he's expecting you at 8:00 p.m. tonight.
Don't be late.
Oh!
And I consider whatever debt you think I might owe you...
paid.
(door opens)
(door closes)
Silas.
Uh, I-I just want you to know that
if anything did happen to Madison on the farm...
I-I know it wasn't your fault.
It would have been an accident.
Not that I'm questioning you at all.
But if you had to...
put her to rest,
I am begging you
move her off of the property,
somewhere where no one will ever find her.
And I can help you...
because...
because I know my brother, and he will not stop coming.
Trying to extinguish your light.
And the world needs you.
We need you.
So please, don't take any chances.
♪
Ethan just called me.
- And? - Well, I wasn't going to answer
but then he kept calling and texting.
- And? - Serena's sick,
and they need me to do the staged reading today.
- And. - And screw him.
Why should I help him after what he did to me?
Because you worked really hard on that show.
And you wouldn't be doing it for him,
you'd be doing it for yourself.
- (scoffs) - Because you are the best Darla,
and you know it.
So the best way to screw him and the producers
is to go on stage and prove it.
(whimsical music playing)
Hi, I'm Alice Kwan,
and welcome to my w-- Shit!
Alright. Cut, cut. Listen.
(stammering) Settle down.
And this time, just look at the camera
as if it was your best friend and say, "Welcome to the world
of 'America's Funniest Ferrets and Friends.'"
Yes, I know my lines. I wrote them.
Diva. Okay, ready? Take two.
Only this time, a little more zazz.
- Zazz? - ALL: (together) Zazz.
Okay, but maybe remember to hit the record button this time.
Oh. (laughs)
Alright, ready and action!
Wait. No! She needs a little more powder.
- Just, just a little. Just a little. - Okay.
- Shiny. Shiny. - That's enough.
Alright, alright. Good. Action!
I am the director!
I am the only one that is allowed to call action!
BOTH: (together) Action!
ALICE: Welcome to the world
of "America's Funniest Furry Friends."
I'm your host, Alice Kwan, reporting "fur" duty.
And now we're behind the scenes
of "America's Funniest Ferrets and Friends."
Much like ferrets, our hardworking writers
need 8 to 10 meals a day,
which is why we have our handy craft services truck.
What?
I'll have a tuna cup, please.
This isn't your show.
Get out of here before I call security.
We gotta get out of here. Run!
- Going out for this part too, huh? - (ferret chitters)
Hope one of us gets it. (chuckles)
You with CAA?
Don't forget, after your haircut at noon,
you have a meeting with the studio heads at 3:00 p.m.
and dinner with Quentin Ferretino.
(chuckles) Sounds important.
Ferret is in.
Representation is at an all-time high.
I feel optimistic. (laughs)
That's it for your host
of "America's Funniest Ferrets and Friends."
Once again, I'm Alice Kwan,
and I hope you'll tune in next week
for more of our adorable furry friends.
And cut! I think we got it.
(overlapping chatter)
- Excellent. - Brava!
Okay, so I guess now we just cut it together
and send it to the network
and hope they like me better than Derek.
MORTY: How could they not?
Hey, hey, we believe in you, kid.
Just like you believed in us.
- MORTY: Oh! - Come on, bring it.

You were amazing.
I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Uh, Callie.
She actually found my alien ID number,
so I do not have to hide anymore.
Oh, my God, that's great news.
I know, right? Yeah.
(clears throat) Yeah. And I, um,
actually explained everything to Galen this morning,
and she gave me another chance.
See that?
Good things happen when you're honest with people.
Yeah.
Maybe, maybe we should talk.
Um, I actually, I have to go to work right now.
Uh, tonight after your shift.
Sounds good.
Frank Barda is the resident artist at the LA Arts Museum,
and he's known for launching the careers of his apprentices.
I mean, the exposure I get to all the people
who matter in the art world is huge.
The people who matter?
Yeah, so there's a small group of collectors, patrons,
critics who determine what's important art.
And not the public?
Well, no, the public doesn't collect fine art.
(sighs) You trust Yuri?
(laughs) No, I never trust Yuri.
But I do trust he knows that he owes me.
And he's probably afraid that I'll out him
if, you know, I don't have my own reputation to lose.
What about your street art?
Look, I appreciate that you appreciate it,
but like I've told you, it's not considered real art.
Yeah. By this cabal of people who matter.
I don't know. Uh, kowtowing to a bunch of elites
doesn't really sound like who you are.
Jay, you've known me five minutes.
How could you really know who I am?
Uh, look, I can't sit around in the moment
eating strawberries all day.
And you're a doctor.
Like, whether or not you're a surgeon
or, or in the ER,
you're part of an elite group.
So don't judge me for wanting to be somebody.
(door opens)
(door closes)
(sighs) I cannot thank you enough for doing this.
No, you can't.
I'm not doing it for you.
Okay, so Serena's not really sick.
I spoke to her, and we both agreed
you are Darla,
and this play will not succeed without you.
- Curtain up in five. - Thank you.
You are going to kill it.
- I think I'm going to be sick. - What?
(sighs)
Yo, I mean, not that.
- (knocks on door) - Hi. Hello.
You wanted to see me?
Yes, Alice. Uh, take a seat.
I watched your reel.
Oh. So what'd you think?
I think you're hilarious.
Oh. Yay! (chuckles)
You scared me there. Nothing new though.
You're the network. I'm always scared.
Mm, see? So funny.
So, do I get the job as the host?
No. We'll be sticking with Derek.
- (phone buzzing) - However,
I have some even better news.
We've been trying to cast a role
in the new sitcom we picked up,
so I sent your reel to the producers
and guess what?
Afraid to guess actually.
They want to cast you. As a series regular.
- A series regular. - KARLA: Mm-hmm.
Really?
Really. Exciting, right?
(phone buzzes)
(groans) Okay.
Um, what about "AFF&F"?
Well, since you'll be leaving, we'll hire a new head writer.
And that person will keep the guys on staff.
(phone buzzing)
Well, I guess that'll be up to them.
But in these cases, I'm sad to say,
they usually clean house.
Mm.

No.

(chuckles) Mazel tov.
Yeah. Congratulations.
MORRIE: It's wonderful!
So...
does... that mean you're leaving us?
I am a huge fan of your work.
I love the use of negative space in your latest series,
and I've read all your essays on action painting
and postmodernism.
It would be an honor to be your apprentice,
and I would work harder than anyone else.
A career in fine art is all I've ever wanted.
Uh, like I said, I, uh, I went to art school,
and this has been my dream since I was a kid.
What are you doing?
You were saying?
Sorry, I, uh, lost my train of thought.
- Ladle, the cookies. - LADLE: Yes, chef. Behind.
Fire up the second course on order number six.
- MAN: Heard. - LADLE: Behind.
Whoa! Careful now. D?
- Yeah. - Got a minute?
Final documents from the investors.
Just need a few John Hancocks,
and the money is ours.
Pay your dad back ASAP. Just like I promised. Huh?
What, uh, what are they doing here?
- Huh? - Someone called the police?
I'll go check.
Thank you for coming in. I'll get on that right away.
Hey, there's the incredible cast of "Last Call."
Bravo!
- Thank you so much for coming. - Incredible job.
(indistinct chatter)
Ooh, what was that all about?
Uh, apparently, our valet is blocking a driveway.
Someone complained.
And they called the cops?
I mean, whatever happened to a strongly worded letter?
(chuckles)
Hey, guys. First round is on the house.
Oh, Bravo!
Ranjit is here with the investment papers to sign.
(whispers) Ranjit.
(people chattering, laughing)
We killed it.
- Yes, we did. - (indistinct chatter)
MAN: Whoo!
(laughs)
There they are!
Congratulations, everyone.
Tonight was a huge success.
We're already getting calls from investors.
Hmm. A success that in large part we owe to Davia.
Yeah. I mean, this is my show, and she's my Darla.
And if you don't agree,
then I'm leaving and taking my show with me.
- We absolutely agree. - (chuckling)
She is a star. You are a star.
MALCOM: Wonderful. So good.
(group applauding)
And there's more good news.
Based on tonight's response, we've decided to skip LA tryouts
and take the show straight to New York.
Off-Broadway to start,
then hopefully opening on Broadway.
(excited chatter)
- Congrats. - Congrats.
MAN: Oh, my God.
Absolutely.
I knew!
Oh, my God.
(gravel crunching)
(engine rumbling)
(brakes squeal)
(animal howls in distance)
(Silas sighs)
(dishes clattering)
(notification chimes)
DAVIA: And the show is moving to New York.
New York?
Well, that's the dream, right?
Yes, but, you know,
the show could run for six months
or a year or two years, you know?
Um, maybe you could move the restaurant to Brooklyn?
You know I would.
Right.
So what do we do?
We do long distance.
I'll come to New York as much as I can.
You come home whenever you can.
Okay. Okay.
Uh, but if the show is a success,
you know, two years is a long time.
Not in the scheme of our whole lives together.
Are we... spending our whole lives together?
- That's my plan. - Huh.
We are strong.
We're going to get through this together,
and everything else that comes our way.
Anything.
I love you.
I love you, too.
(Davia chuckles)
- Holy crap. - (Davia laughs)
I am so proud of you.
You are going to be a star.
Mm.
Oh. Um, sorry.
(Luca clears throat)
Sorry, I was just, uh, wondering
if I could head out a little early.
Of course. Yeah. You didn't see anything.
- No. Nothing. - DENNIS: Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah. But maybe you could lock the door on the way out.
- Yes. - (Davia and Dennis laughing)
(shovel scraping)
(Silas grunts)
Do you have a moment to, uh, talk
about some, uh...
uh, things.
Sure.
- So, um-- - JOAQUIN: Uh, Mariana.
Sorry to interrupt.
Uh, I need to talk to you. It's important.
I'm-I'm so sorry. I-I'll be right back.
- What is it? - Jenna just called.
Jenna?
- (phone buzzing) - Jenna?
JENNA: I only have a second to talk.
Silas is moving Madison's body tonight.
She's buried on the farm,
out in the field south of the bees.
- Wh-what did he say, exactly? - JENNA: I have to go.
No, no, no, no, no. Hello? Hello.
She said that, that Silas is moving Madison's body tonight.
We have to tell Detective Briggs.
We already burned our bridges with him.
He's not going to take us seriously.
Should we take this seriously?
- It could be a trap. - No, I don't think so.
Jenna sounded terrified.
So w-what can we do?
We go out there, we try to get some photos,
and we bring them to Briggs.
No, Joaquin, we could be arrested.
And if we don't, then Silas might move the body
and he'll never be caught.
Okay, I'll, I'll meet you downstairs.
Okay.
Everything alright?
I'm so sorry. Can we talk another time?
Something urgent came up.
Yes. Of course.
Anything I can do to help?
No!
No. Uh, it's personal.
Yeah. I understand.
Okay.
(shovel scraping)
(grunts)
What is that?
He stopped digging.
I got to get closer. Stay here.
- Yeah. - MARIANA: Be careful.
- Hey. - Hey.
How'd it go?
He offered me the job.
So you took it?
(siren wailing in distance)
IVAN: Hey!
You still owe me that 500 bucks, you little shit!
I know you had someone jump me for it.
I-I didn't do any--
(Ivan grunts)
- (kick thuds) - (Ivan groans)
(siren chirping)
(tires squealing)
Hey, hey, hey, that's enough. Get off. Get off. Get off.
- Hey, that's-- - OFFICER: That's enough.
- (Luca grunts) - OFFICER: Hands on your head!
Keep your hands where I can see them.
- He tried to rob me. - Keep your hands where I can see them.
He said he had a gun. I was just defending myself.
What? No, that is not true.
OFFICER: Check him.
Sir, do you have a weapon on you?
I do not have any weapons on me.
Okay, he's clean.
- Whose bag is this? - It's mine.
You can search it. Go ahead.
OFFICER: Don't move.
Keep your hands on your head.
What's this?
No, th-that is not mine.
I have no idea how that got in there.
You're under arrest.
No, I have no idea where they came from.
OFFICER: Stand up.
OFFICER 2: Stop it.
(Silas grunts)
- (kick thuds) - (Joaquin groans)
(both grunting)
(engine revving)
(Joaquin groaning)
- Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you okay? - Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Is that...
JOAQUIN: Holy shit.
Wh-what do we do now?
What about Silas?
Where is he?
- (Silas grunts) - Joaquin!
Well, I guess it's just you and me now, Mariana.
(intense music playing)
