Evan, you never responded to my texts.

I'm working and living on a farm.
We call this place The Colony.
I'm Silas.
JOAQUIN: You should've heard this guy Silas talk.
He's got, like, all these women living and working there.

ASHER: Elliot's always been an anxious kid.
I feel like I'm screwing all this up.
Laura did most of the parenting.
I had a son.
His name is Jacob,
and he died when he was six years old.

So tell me the origins of this all-women-owned app.
Well, uh, we all met while working at Speckulate.
We called ourselves the Fight Club Girls.
I love that. Why?
We were among the few female employees
at Speckulate at the time.
And it was a real boys' club--
Like tech can be.
And-- And we got to talking about how great it would be
to work for ourselves someday.
And then we found the courage to quit
and bet on our own ideas.
And I was so totally blown away by their one-stop-app
for the eco-conscious beauty consumer,
I literally begged them to let me jump on board
because I knew my fans would love an app like this.
WOMAN: Great going, ladies.
What's up, TikTok babes?
I'm inviting you all to download the Bulk Beauty app

Why did you wanna stop going?
The kids were mean.
Mean about what?
You know, I got bullied in school when I was your age.
Really? Why?
Well, the kids teased me about my weight.
And... And the fact that I didn't have a dad.
I mean, I had a dad,
but he left when I was pretty young.
ASHER: Hey!

Worst case, you get jail time.
Wait, how-- how much jail time?
Could I-- Could I give birth in prison?
You'd probably be looking at six to nine months.
[Isabella gasps]
But I spoke with my boss, Kathleen.
This is your first offense,
and you're taking responsibility for your actions,

Hey, whatever happens,
we're gonna get through this together, okay?
Okay.
Elliot is really doing great with his schoolwork,
but I feel like he's missing out on so much
by being homeschooled.
Socially, academically, not being in a classroom--
Have-- Have you considered
having him talk to someone about his anxiety?
Well, Laura took him to a psychiatrist once,
but they just wanted to medicate him.
Well, some kids really benefit from medication.
But there are other options that a therapist can explore.
Have you ever thought maybe Elliot's refusal to go to school
has something to do with his mother leaving?
Elliot had these issues long before she left.
This is nothing new.
What Elliot needs is structure and consistency.
We're doing fine.
Even better since you came into our lives.
Well, I'm flattered,
but this is beyond my skill set.
And I really think that the goal should be
getting Elliot back in school.
[box clatters]
I'm not going back to school.
Calm down, buddy. We were just talking--
No! I-- I won't go back!
Well, you have to go back eventually.
DAVIA: Not right away,

No! I hate other kids.
I hate everyone! I'm not going back!
We've more than doubled our users in just a few weeks...

Zelda wasn't cheap, but she was worth every penny.

It's a lot of money,

Hey, sounds smart to me.
I'm really happy for you.
Thank you.
So... anything new on Silas?
Yeah, something pretty big, actually.
So I finally got a copy
of the license for Silas' honey company.
And now I know why we haven't been able
to find anything solid on Silas Thompson.
'Cause he's not a real person.
-What? -Yeah.
Silas' real name is Gary Brecker.
I don't know why I didn't think of him using an alias.
But feels like we've--
we've just been wasting the past few weeks
going down a rabbit hole,
when what I should've done is just staked out the farmers' market
until Jenna showed up.
And then, you would have gotten arrested
for violating your restraining order.
Besides, what would you have said to her
that you haven't said already?
She's not gonna leave that place
unless we can prove that Silas is a fraud. Or Gary.
And she probably doesn't even know that's his real name.
-Yeah. -Have you...
done a social media search on Gary Brecker?
Well, I hadn't had the chance yet
when someone came by and distracted me.
Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's get to work.
JOAQUIN: All right.
By the way, I know this is a casual thing,

I haven't dreamt about him in a while.
He was older, like the age he'd be now.
Usually, when I dream about him,
at some point, it hits me: he's dead.
And... he vanishes.
That didn't happen this time?
No, I thought it would,
but... he offered me his hand,
I took it,
and we... ran away.
I wonder what that means.
I don't know.
Maybe it means my days are numbered,
and he's walking me into the light.
GAEL: [laughing] Stop it.
I think it might have to do with a conversation I had with Ryan.
I might've given her the impression
that I was open to having a baby with her,
you know, if things keep progressing.
But you don't want another kid?
I don't think so.
You think it's a deal breaker?
I think it might be.

[indistinct chatter]
Thank you, both, for being here.
Davia, I'm interested in your point of view as Elliot's teacher,
but I'd like to start with Asher.
Tell me about Elliot.
Um...
My son's always had a lot of social anxiety.
Uh, he didn't have many friends,
which made him an easy target for bullies.
But the panic attacks began recently?
Has anything new happened in Elliot's life?
My wife and I separated.
That's significant.
Does Elliot live with you or does he go back and forth?
Elliot lives with me.
His mother's been traveling in Europe.
He video chats with her about once a week,
when she has reception.
THERAPIST: And when was the last time
Elliot saw his mother in person?
Um...
The day that she told us she was leaving.
She told you and Elliot together?
Yeah, she sat us down
and told us that she wasn't happy
and that she needed to leave for a while.
THERAPIST: That must've been very painful for you.
We-- We're not here to talk about me.
THERAPIST: Had Elliot ever refused to go to school
before his mother left?
Yes, but Laura always got him there.
Like I said, my son's always had social anxiety.
He's never liked school.
So what we need to focus on
is how to get him back into a real classroom.
Eventually.
There's no hurry.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can be very effective
for children with anxiety.
And there are tools
that can be implemented at home and during Davia's lessons
to help him cope with triggers.
O-- Okay. Great!
What are those?
