- Zoey.
Miles, can you say Zoey?
- He cannot. He's a baby.
- Zoey.
- Oh, see, Grandma can do it.
- Will you please bring me that carafe?
- What's with the fancy plates today?
- Did you forget?
Tonight is the first night of your birthday week.
- It's not a thing.
- Even if it was a thing,
I don't need a whole week.
I don't need a whole day.
It's so soon after Dad, I don't--
I don't want people making a fuss over me.
- You're turning 30.
It is a big deal.
And you know what your father would say
if he were here right now.
together: Bigger moments, bigger memories.
- That is correct.
I'm sure he'd be
setting up the fireworks display
and hiring a marching band.
- Putting a jumpy castle up in the backyard.
- Yeah, that was the best 21st birthday
a boy could ever ask for.
- Okay, you know what? I guess it wouldn't be
the worse idea to honor his legacy
with an engagement that some might classify
as a party. - Yes!
- Okay, I'm thinking something like
the parties you and Dad used to throw.
- Hmm. - Can we do it here?
- Yes, yes. Absolutely. I would love that.
We can hire a caterer, and maybe set up a bar
in the dining room.
- Thank you. - I'll do the flowers, and...
if all this sounds okay to you.
- It actually sounds kind of great.
- Hey, so, uh...
How do you plan on filling this place?
I mean, it's a pretty big house,
and don't you have, like, six friends?
- Excuse you, me.
I have a lot of close relations I'll be inviting
to this party.
In fact,
I might have to limit the guest list.
Hey, Alicia.
You don't happen to have plans Saturday night,
do you?
- I didn't know you knew my name.
- Of course I do.
Hey, you want to come to my birthday party?
It's not my actual birthday. That's the next day.
But Saturday is historically
the hottest party night of the week.
So, you in?
- As like a caterer or something?
- No, as one of my main peeps.
- Oh, okay. Yeah, sure, I'll come to your party.
- Great.
Morning.
What are we smiling about?
- "Tech Assurance Weekly" just came out
with their annual list
of the most influential voices in tech,
and you are looking at influential voice number 27.
- Whoa.
That is huge! Congratulations.
- Thank you. It's cool. Tatiana put me up for it.
She's pretty much been acting like my publicist these days.
- So, I know you're really popular...
- I mean... - But please tell me,
you don't have a "Save the World" gala
on Saturday night, because I'm having a 30th birthday party.
So feel free to save the world any other night
but that night, please.
- See if we can accommodate, um...
moving saving the world to next week.
Free now.
Can't wait.
- Thank you.
I have two announcements.
First, I'm having a birthday party on Saturday.
You all should be receiving invitations shortly.
- Quick party-related question.
What man-to-lady ratio are we talking about?
- Depends on how many women you invite.
- On it.
- Announcement number two
comes from Danny Michael Davis himself.
He wants us to "turn the page"
and move into a new chapter at Sprqpoint
by revamping our signature phone.
He's opened up the pitches to the entire company,
but how amazing would it be if the new idea
came from engineering?
- Whoa, whoa. Leif's at a birding conference all week.
How can we do this without him?
- Easily. My Robot Wars Team
brought home the Golden Sprocket three years in a row.
I can think of something.
- So can I.
I'm actually thinking of something right now.
- Well, I look forward to seeing what you come up with,
and also to seeing all of you
at my party.
- Thank you for coming on such short notice.
We are newly committed to fire safety
here at Maximo,
and we felt it best to add another alarm.
Thoughts?
- You're good to go.
But you probably didn't need a certified fire marshal
to come all the way out here for that.
- Better safe than sorry, right?
- It is.
But if what you really wanted was to see me again,
you could have just asked me on a proper date.
- Huh.
Could have done that.
- I would have said yes.
Hope to hear from you soon.
- You look happy.
- I just love a hot man with a clipboard.
My God. Mm.
- Is that a thing? - Mm-hmm.
- There she is, almost-birthday girl.
What are we doing this year, huh?
Going back to the Exploratorium
where more people could judge us
for not being there with a child?
- Okay, not this year. This year...
I've decided to throw a big blow-out party.
But it's going to be very tasteful.
- Wow. - Max, hi.
- Oh, oh, one second.
- Hi, hey. - Hi.
- I'm so sorry. I'm so late.
You're not going to believe what happened to me.
- Tell me. - Okay. So I thought I was
getting on the 580, but I was getting on the 280.
So then I ended up on the wrong side of the Bay Bridge...
- Oh, my God. - Right?
And then this really nice hippie gave me directions
and this worry stone.
Any takers? - Me!
Ooh, Mo. Cute top. Nice to meet you.
Put this directly in your cubby.
You know why. - Yes, please.
Rose, this is my uh...
This is Zoey,
and Zoey, this is Rosanna.
Or Rose. We went to sleepaway camp together.
- We did. For six summers, and he had a giant crush on me.
- Oh, wow, you don't say?
- Okay, settle down.
I believe it was a mutual crush,
and I'm not the one who went on a night hike with...
What was his name again?
- The tall kid. - Yeah, with the--
together: Josh Goldstein. - Yes!
He's in jail now.
- Oh, cool.
- So, how do you two know each other?
- Oh, Max and I met at Sprqpoint.
We actually started on the same day, and...

- No, thank you, um...
I have a lot of big party planning to do.

I hate when I see white people dance, too.
But when's the last time you and Max

and to be fair, you've also been thinking of somebody else.
- I have? Who?
- What about that cute Australian boy toy of yours?
- Okay. We're just friends.

I'm just saying that you can vibe with whoever
you want to vibe with, I mean,
what are the rules on your...pause?
- There aren't any
that I'm aware of?
- So you're mad at Max because
he broke rules that don't exist?
- I'm not mad.
I am maybe a little bit surprised
that he had those feelings for someone else.
- Oh, so you thought he was gonna sit around
and wait for you to make a decision?
- Sounds unfair when you put it like that.
I'm just gonna text him right now,
and I'm gonna see where we stand.
Actually, I should do it in person, right?
That's the...
mature...
30-year-old way to do it, right?
- Girl, why are you asking me?
I'm still basking in my 20-somethings.
- 20 what, exactly?

I don't remember either. Bye.

Yeah.
Hey, man. Aiden, that's a really catchy tune.

I've been writing a lot of music lately.
Always happens whenever I've been feeling rejected.
- Oh, no. What happened?
- This girl just got up in my head,

We definitely shouldn't talk about it.
- Uh, no. We absolutely should be talking about this.
This is where all the best songs come from.
This is real heartbreak.

You do that, and I'm gonna just go see the other guys.
See what they're up to.
[knocking on door]
- Come in, it's open.
- Ooh, hummus and baby carrots.
I brought some ginger ale, whiskey, and chamomile tea
because your "Let's have a mature conversation about
our relationship" text kind of threw me a little.
- Sorry. Didn't mean to make it sound so formal.
I just feel like
we should talk about where
things stand between us,
what the rules of engagement are
for our current pause and, you know,
just make sure we're following the same protocols.
- Okay. This feels natural.
Is there any particular reason?
- Well, I heard you sing a heart song
last night at Maximo's.
A sexy duet with Rose.
- Rose and I sang together?
- Yeah, so...
clearly you guys have feelings for each other, right?
- Uh, I don't know.
This is all news to me,
and honestly, I'm still trying to figure it out,
but, as usual, you've already downloaded
my innermost thoughts right into your brain,
so, uh, also-- why are you even asking me?
Are you ready to stop our pause?
'Cause I'm happy to have that conversation,
but if not, then I don't know what we're doing here.
- I'm just trying to make sure that we're not messing it up,
you know, messing us up-- I think that it's important
for both of us to be clear about our expectations
when it comes to other people right now.
- Okay, what other people are in your world now, Zoey?
- Just...okay, well, I had
this one flirty
thing with this neighbor kid.
He's not a kid exactly,
but also a thing is way too strong of a word.
It was actually basically nothing
now that I'm talking about it, but, um,
in the spirit of this honest conversation
I feel like I should mention that
maybe I'm starting to have feelings
for Simon again.
- I'm sorry, what?
- Nothing has happened, and I'm--
I don't know if anything will happen
- I don't like the sound of that.
- Well, it's not about
what you like, Max.
It's--I'm just-- I'm trying to be mature
and be honest with you about what I'm feeling.
- You know, saying the word mature
doesn't suddenly make you more mature.
- Well, raising your voice
doesn't suddenly mean that you're right.
- Okay, fine then, uh--
Thank you so much for inviting me over
to clarify our rules of engagement
just so you could find an excuse to run off at Simon.
- That's not what I'm doing.
- Then you're just, what, ambushing me with
my own emotions right now?
- Okay, well, what am I supposed to do?
Never talk to you again just in case you sing a heart song?

but I'm so tired of storming out of fights with you,
so I am just going to maturely
walk away.

- Zoey, I haven't had my coffee
or my crustless quiche yet.
- I'm gonna cancel my party.
- That's a horrible idea.
- Maybe the party was a horrible idea to begin with.
Did you say quiche?
- Ugh. You can't cancel.
I've already invited the hot fire marshal
to be my date.
I thought inviting the nice grown-up man
to the nice grown-up party would be a great way
to introduce him to my world.
- I'm sorry, but it's just not the right time.
It's been a terrible year.
I have nothing to celebrate, and it was stupid to even try.
- What did I miss?
The last time I checked, you were trying to hire a bouncer.
- Things totally imploded with Max last night
and I was so upset that I spent most of the night
questioning every single life decision I ever made,
especially the one that led me
to throwing a giant 30th birthday party.
Smells delicious, but I'm in no mood to eat.
- You are all over the place.
I'm sorry that everything with you and Max imploded,
but that is no reason for you to deprive yourself
of a worthy celebration,
and did I mention hot fire marshal?
- Several times, yes, but...
I don't know what to tell you.
It's not happening.
- [huffs]
Okay.
It's delicious.
- Zoey, what's up? We got some pictures for you.
Which phone do you like better,
and why is it the Megaphone?
The biggest phone to be put out in the market.
- It's cute to see you get your hopes up, Tobes,
but she's obviously gonna prefer my idea.
The Microphone. She's a micro-person.
I mean that in a nice way.
- Oh. Can you just give me a minute
to weigh in on this phone battle?
- Yeah-yeah-yeah. - I am pre-caffeinated.
- Mm-hmm. Take your time, but, uh,
now that we're walking, let me just tell you
a few reasons why the Megaphone's better.
- What? Whoa, what's going on?

cookies, cake, and candy.
This is a great platform for me to tell you
that my party has been canceled.
- Aw... - What? Why?
- 'Cause I canceled it.
- You can't do that.
You told me to work on the lady ratio,
so I invited all these hot girls from Tinder.
- And I was gonna raid your mother's medicine cabinet,
but whatever.
- Oh, wait. You guys are actually upset about this?
- I'll be fine. Can't promise that a bunch of
hot single ladies aren't gonna show up at your mom's.
- Hey.
So why did you cancel the party?
You seemed so excited about it. - Oh, I was, but yeah, yeah.
I just--I got in a really big fight
with, um...myself,
and it's just better this way.
- I mean, if you want to spend your birthday alone
without all of the people who care about you
who made a whole candy bar just for you--
- Okay, I really appreciate the candy,
but I'm not taking the bait.
I am, however, taking these Red Hots.

- Turns out this is the flip-side of marriage equality.
- So what are you picking up?
- Oh, just...my kids.
- As in little baby goats?
- As in humans who are nine and seven.
- Oh!
Interesting.
- It's not something I usually bring up
right away, but unless I like someone.
Is that an issue for you?
- No. You liking me?
I like that part.
- Well, the kids and I are kind of a package deal,
and I'm in a stage of my life where I'm
not just looking for some hook-up.
So...you have my number.
Feel free to call me
if I didn't just scare you away.
- Hey. - So,
what did you think of my song?
- It was flattering.
Maybe not the best choice for my birthday party, friend.
- Yeah, well, I just
wanted to let you know how I felt.
- Uh-huh.
- Ever since that day together, I just...
can't stop thinking about you.
And this probably makes no sense to you,
I just keep having these melodies in my head.
I feel like I'm being haunted by music.
- Wow. Yeah, that's...
wild.
- So, we you gonna-- - It's not gonna happen.
- Right, 'cause your friends are all here
and you have to play host. I get it.
Call me later. - No, no.
We're...not
going to happen.
You are a very free-spirited
young man, and I am...
About to be 30, so we're just in different places.
- Right.
[sighs] Kay.
Very well.
Ah, um,
good luck finding another Australian boyfriend
who plays guitar and has this hair.
- Happy birthday to you--
- No!
That's okay.
I just don't need any more singing right now,
but thank you all so very much
for being here tonight and celebrating with me.
- Thanks for having us, Zoe. - Bye.
- Happy birthday again. Great, great party.
- Hey, um, thank you for coming.
Where's Simon?
Didn't you two come here together?
- We did, but now I'm gonna meet a late night Bumble date,
and if he's not 6'4" like his profile says he is,
I'm just gonna head straight home.
- Wait, wait, wait, so...
There's nothing romantic going on with you and Simon?
- Ah...
Well, I mean, look at that face.
Who wouldn't want to kiss that man?
But no. We are just friends.
Besides, I think there might be someone else
that he's interested in
that's not me.
Good night, Zoey.
- I mean, I still don't understand
how you didn't realize it was a creepy lust anthem
about your sister.
- I thought the girl's name was Ginger, okay?
And he didn't sing that ending until tonight.
- Honestly, that song's still stuck in my head.
- Oh, thank you. You know, I actually
contributed some of the rhymes.
- I hope you're not talking about
what I think you're talking about.
- I am so sorry.
Hey, Em, I know this is upsetting to you
because I know you love musicians, but I...
you know, I think I have to quit.
- You do. - Yeah.
- But maybe you could start your own band?
- Mm. - With people a little closer
to your age.
- You thinking dad band?
- I wasn't 'til you called it that.
- Oh, here. Let me help you with one of these.
Yeah, come on dad band. Okay.
- Hi.
- You have a good time tonight?
- Yeah, I mean it was fun, right?
I feel like my dad would have loved it.
- I mean, what's not to love?
- I'm glad you're still here.
- Of course. I...would not leave without...
- Oh, yeah, I've got, like, whole journals
just filled with lyrics.
Hey, that reminds me,
Max, you sing, right?
- Uh, kinda, yeah. - Yeah?
We should start a band - No.
- Hey, Simon, we should-- - No.
- You guys were great, though.
- Oh, yeah, thanks so much. Thank you.
.
[pounding on door]
- What, what is it?
- Happy actual birthday.
- Oh, my God.
[exhales]
Thank you. Wow.
These look amazing.
Not sure you needed to wake me up for them, but--
Mm! Yes.
Definitely worth waking up for.
- You're welcome.
So what's on tap for the big 3-O?
- Mmm..
I was thinking about going back to bed.
- Ah, that's what happens when you're old.
- I also texted Simon
and invited him here for dinner tonight.
- Ooh, you better go on with your dirty 30 thang.
- Oh, how'd it go with you and Perry?
- Oh, I'll tell you how that went.
It turns out he has two young kids
that he shares custody of with his ex-husband.
- So many big adult words
for one little sentence.
Is that a dealbreaker? - I don't know.
It just goes against all of my instincts
to hold onto my youth as long as I can.
- Makes sense.
You should probably just forget about that nice grown man
who's made you giddier than I've
ever seen you in your life.
It's definitely not worth you going outside
of your comfort zone for that guy.
- Hm. I see what you're doing.
I also see some gray hair sprouting out.
- Excuse you. - Happy birthday.
I'm going gray now?
- Hey.
How did breaking up with the band go?
- Ah, it was pretty devastating.
- Oh, no. They took it that badly?
- Oh, no. I meant for me. - Oh.
- But it's okay. I'll find something else.
Maybe, like, pottery
or maybe like a sketch comedy workshop.
- Yeah, that should really keep the flame alive
between you and your wife.
- [laughs] So how was last night for you?
Having a party here,
you know, without Dad.
- Ah, it was a little weird
and sad at moments, but we made it through,
and you know, actually, it was really nice
bringing some life back into this house again.
- Thinking maybe you should do it every week now?
Like, you have velvet ropes, start charging admission...
- Yeah, I wouldn't go that far,
but I might have a little dinner party,
invite a few friends over.
Baby steps.
- Yeah.
- Oh! Look what I found
when I was putting away the decorations
in the garage.
- Oh, my gosh. I remember these.
Sorry, Miles. Looks like you're just gonna have to be
in a band with your dad now.
- Yeah, and your grandma.
