.
- Previously on this thing...
- I did meet someone.
- Give me that mouth, baby! Mm.
- Because of Narcissa, I lost my Hollywood career
and my perfect Uber rating.
They rate me?
If I hadn't left LA without saying goodbye,
I don't know if I'd even be alive today.
- Mr. Tobin, there's a lady here?
- Artie! [laughs]
- Oh, snap! Now what?
- That's impossible.
Narcissa.
No, no, no, no, no.
This cannot be happening.
- So this is Narcissa.
She looks complicated. - Thank you.
Arthur, what a beautiful family you have.
- That's a crazy thing to say.
- Wait, did you invite her in?
Haven't you seen "Sinners"? - I'm sorry.
Who is this woman?
- Honestly, I don't even know. [laughs]
I am on a journey.
- How did you even find me?
It's been two years. I moved across the country.
I blocked you on everything.
I always use a fake name at Starbucks.
- Well, Denise called me from your phone.
You blocked me, but I'm still your emergency contact.
And Denise didn't want you going back to the post office,
which is so funny,
because I am banned from my post office, too.
It's like fate,
because I was in Maryland looking for you.
[growling] And I found you!
- Hold up.
Do you teach Peloton?
- [normal voice] I did! It just got too corporate.
Guys, I died for four minutes while getting my boobs done,
and God is an old white guy.
He just is. Okay, let's go!
- Well, thank you for my phone. - Artie, I just want to talk.
- No, thank you.
Take care. - Wait, wait, wait!
She came all this way,
and you're not even gonna hear her out?
- My boy AT, he's just looking out for himself.
He said this is the woman that ruined his life.
She's the reason why he even has to do
my stupid documentary.
- I am sick and tired of the men in this house
not listening to women! - What did I do?
- Okay, fine.
When I say men, I'm talking about Reggie Dinkins.
I just want to set a wedding date,
but he's dragging his feet.
And not just to build up static on the rug
so he can shock Rusty.
- This is a perfect birthday.
[crackling] Ooh, Daddy!
[thump]
- So you're gonna sit down and listen
to this woman, Arthur.
- I love your outfit. Can I have it?
- Okay, Monica, I know how this sounds, okay?
But believe me, this woman is--
- Crazy.
Sorry, I'm just checking my news alerts.
Why is the FDA telling me not to worry about bird measles?
[gasps] Diddy escaped?
- ♪ The fall and rise ♪
♪ Of Reggie Dinkins ♪
- This woman is just trying her best.
Don't take away her voice, Arthur.
Don't be a Ursula.
- No, no, no. Marty! Marty. No, no, no.
You all stay. I want this on tape.
- Brina and Arthur are clearly dealing with their own stuff,
but I do not have the bandwidth.
The whole world is losing its mind.
I had a couple of busy work days
and didn't read the news, and now--
They declared war on the ocean?
- So like, what are you shooting?
Is this, like, a reverse "Blind Side,"
where you're bad at sports,
and then the races are also reversed?
- And so is the adoptee's relative size to the family.
I get it, Narcissa.
- Listen, I'm just really happy that you're working, okay?
I felt so sorry when I found out
that you were fired from Maryland.
- Sorry like you were when you told Russell Crowe
that I'd been taking upskirts of his girlfriend
"just to see what would happen"?
He punched me, and then he made me listen to his band.
Let's just get to the point. What do you want?
- I just want to say...
I forgive you.
- Oh, my God.
You better take a look at your personality
before you start hanging [bleep] on me.
That is a Russell Crowe lyric that I had to listen to.
You forgive me?
For what, exactly? What, for leaving?
- Well, yes. - [scoffs]
I left because I had to, Narcissa,
the day after being fired-- thanks to you, by the way--
from the biggest job of my life.
I woke up handcuffed in my bathtub
like I was in a "Saw" movie
while you were asleep in our bed
with some guy that looked like toilet Elvis.
Let's get this over with.
You waltz in here in those step-on-me boots.
What do you want? Do you want money? An alibi?
- I don't want anything.
- If that's true, prove it and leave.
- Can we just, like, talk, you know?
Without the cameras?
- You are all seeing this, right?
She's saying she doesn't want anything,
but now she won't leave.
You are exactly the kind of woman that inspired
Russell Crowe's album "Gaslight."
- My God, you just won't let it go
that I slept with him that night.
- I didn't know that until just now.
Okay, what will it take to get you out of here?
All right, I have $43.
That's all I have in the world, thanks to you.
Please take it.
- I never should have come here.
- At last, we agree.
[door closes]
- We studied the trope of the crazy ex-girlfriend
in my Male Allyship class.
I mean, from Ophelia to Jane Eyre
to Stacy in 1992's "Wayne's World."
It is kind of a cliché.
- Okay, well, so is pretentious director with a fancy accent,
but then you meet one in real life,
"wise beyond his years" sitcom kid.
- The wedding planner
sent these save-the-date samples over.
I just feel like they're missing something.
- Postage, of course.
I'm glad I could help.
- The date, Reggie.
The save-the-date cards don't have a date.
I have to book a caterer and a venue.
I need to know what season I'm getting married in
so I know how much fur to wear, 'cause it's not none.
- Come on. Can we do this later, baby?
- How about a June wedding?
- I don't want to pull focus from Juneteenth.
- Okay, September? - 9/11, back-to-school sales.
Come on, Brina, if you're not gonna
be serious about this-- - October.
- I don't want a spooky wedding.
- How about any time this winter?
- Our ashiest season?
- This is ridiculous!
I passed up on so many opportunities
to monetize my brand
because I thought I would be planning a wedding,
going on a honeymoon, and monetizing that.
- Well, hey, don't let me block your blessings, baby.
I don't want to get in the way of your career.
- What is happening here?
You asked me to marry you
a hundred times before I said yes.
In Italy, at Epstein's island.
- It's not what it sounds like.
Dr. Epstein is my optometrist.
I also asked her at CVS.
- My point is, you wanted this, too.
But if you're not gonna set a date--
- Baby, there's nothing more that I want than to marry you.
But my deep commitment to feminism
will not let me stand in the way of your career.
[exhaling deeply]
Of course I want to marry Brina.
I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
I'm just dragging my feet 'cause that's what guys do,
and I'm a guy.
I love the Taylor Sheridan universe
and twiiiiiiins!
Remember that? [laughs]
- Narcissa Ocean did not come here to leave empty-handed.
[doorbell rings, footsteps approaching]
No, don't open that door.
That's her. She's back.
- Are you serious right now? [scoffs]
- I am so sorry.
My car won't start, and my phone is dead.
Could I just use your phone to call a tow truck?
- No! Be gone!
- Of course. Come in.
Don't listen to him. You stay as long as you need.
- This is all a ruse! - [gasps]
- A ruse, I tell you.
[engine grinding]
[sighs]
You believe me, right?
Marty!
- Oh, your name's Marty?
Oh, that's so funny.
If I was a boy, I would have named myself Randall,
which is the same color as Marty.
- What? You all heard that, right?
I am not the crazy one. [door closes]
.
- Okay, I just need to split the towing fee
over three different credit cards
under three different names. - Arthur Tobin!
How long does it take for a documentary
to change everyone in the world's mind about someone?
- What? Reggie, the biggest mistake
I've made in my life is here in this house.
- But I like the beard. - Narcissa.
Surely, you of all people understand
what it's like to have your past come back to haunt you.
- And that's why we got to get this doc out now,
like, today or, if possible, yesterday.
- No, Reggie, we're nowhere near done filming.
Editing takes months, and I haven't even begun
to think about a font for the title.
- Franklin Gothic with a drop shadow.
My Hall of Fame redemption needs to be done now,
so get it done, or I'll use AI.
Allen Iverson is a good friend.
He knows movie magic!
- No, she's gone.
Where did she go?
[groans]
- Real life "Donkey Kong," gorilla kills man with barrel.
What is up with my algorithm? - That's just the world now.
I only use my phone for photos and Duolingo.
Hello.
I'm learning English.
- Hey, Reggie.
I know you don't want to get in the way of my career
while you decide on a wedding date, so good news.
You remember my ex.
- The prank guy who tricked you into joining the army?
He's hilarious!
- No, not him. François.
- The greatest problem for the world
is women's pleasure not being prioritized.
Also nuclears.
- Oh, him.
Boy, you have a type.
- Well, François has been bugging me forever
to go on that show "Ex Peninsula" with him.
- Ten pairs of sexy exes. One tropical peninsula.
The only rule?
They're all now engaged to other people.
I'm Tug Chase, and this is "Ex Peninsula."
- It'd be great exposure for my brand.
Of course, I wouldn't go if I had a conflict coming up.
- I would never get in the way of your brand.
Go for it, baby.
- Thanks, baby.
[grunts]
- Dude, you cannot let her do that show.
It is horny garbage, and I have seen every episode.
[door closes] - What are you doing upstairs?
This is not your house.
- Brina told me I could make myself at home,
so I just took a little bath,
and now I'm gonna go make some tea.
Do you still take yours with both milk and lemon?
- [sighs] I never did. That is insane!
The milk would curdle.
I know you're up to something.
- Oh, and you're Mr. Innocent,
bringing those blue eyes in here?
- You know that's not a choice. - [breathing heavily]
[moans] - Aha!
So that's your plan, you harpy!
You've come to lure me back into your web
of sexual insanity!
Well, not again.
- But why would I need to lure you back?
After all, Artie...
we're married.
[dramatic music playing on TV]
- I'm not your ex.
I'm really...
your fiancé! - [gasps]
- Wait, Gemma's ex and her fiancé are identical twins?
- No, they're triplets.
Reggie, this show is made
to get exes to hook up with each other.
- Brina would never cheat on me.
She's just trying to make me jealous
so I'll set a wedding date.
- Wait, why won't you?
- If you know me at all, it's pretty obvious.
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[door closes]
- Hey, we got to do something, right?
- Yeah. We got to know more about this show.
- Previously on "Ex Peninsula"...
- Naomi acts like she's the first person
to ever drown on "Ex Peninsula."
- Married. Of course. - Mm-hmm.
- Would you excuse me
for just a second, honey? - [giggles] Mm-hmm.
- Narcissa has overplayed her hand, which is what
she always does when she is in too deep.
One time, she took a job as a sign-language interpreter.
She does not know sign language.
- We both have fond memories of Egypt,
and the recollection of our last visit has drawn us back.
- When they wouldn't pay her,
instead of walking away, she filed a lawsuit
under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- No, I don't understand the question,
because I can't hear anything.
- Whatever her scam is, she slipped up.
- Monsieur Reggie, I am François,
2026 Sex Champion of Europe.
Désolé, I took my shoes off.
But is this also a shirts-off household?
- What? No.
You can see we all have shirts on!
What's he doing here?
- He's here to record our submission tape
for "Ex Peninsula."
- This is very super cool of you.
You must very trust, how you say,
woman you're going to marry. - Fiancée!
- We do not have this word, because in France,
marriage is a joke.
- Brina wants to make me jealous?
- I am François.
- And I'm Brina.
- And we would like to, as we say where I come from...
[speaking French]
- Yeah.
- Maybe I'll make her jealous.
See, I know what I like.
Butts.
And as a feminist, I think men and women are equal.
So let's see how Narcissa likes this butt...
mine.
.
- Gemma, Yorgos has invited you to the Nudity Closet.
- Oh! Her face! - [laughing]
I can't believe she accepted his invitation
to Seven Hours in Heaven!
- But it's just to earn a Fabletics Jealousy Token.
- Mm-hmm.
- What a twist. Speaking of twists...
- Ha, my journals!
Okay, so earlier I called the LA County clerk's office,
and guess what.
They have no record of a Narcissa Louise Ocean
marrying Arthur S. Tobin, so...
- What does the "S" stand for?
- Sting, Marty.
My parents met in the bathroom at a Police concert.
You happy?
And these will prove
that Narcissa and I never even left Los Angeles.
We met at a Lakers game.
She was there to "put her baby on Scottie Pippen Jr."
And then the relationship ended
the day after I was fired from "Professor Squeeze,"
which was...
But I've never been to Vegas.
- Oops. I guess I'm a bad boy.
[groaning]
The only problem with my plan is, how far away the ground is,
but I got a solution.
[clacking]
Damn it.
[laughs] I'm so clumsy today.
- I see what's going on here.
Getting older can be scary.
It must be hard for Reggie to admit he needs help
from his nurse, Brina.
- Oh, not again!
I dropped my grabber claw now, too.
That's so hot, right?
- I know he's just trying to make me jealous,
showing off all that ham.
But I don't get why he won't just give up.
So now I got to take it to the next level.
I started this game of chicken, and I've got all the chickens.
I've never played chicken. What is it?
- [grunting] - Narcissa.
I knew I made a lot of bad choices in 2024.
I just thought that I remembered all of them.
- You're talking about Vegas, aren't you?
- Oh, don't get me started on Vegas.
'Cause I've never been, and I'd be making it up.
- It took some digging, but I finally discovered
what really happened after I was fired.
- Baby, are you sure you want to do this?
- We have to. If we're married, you can't testify against me
for stealing that cop's gun.
I'm a genius!
[sirens approaching]
Hurry, Mr. Presley!
I really thought I was the victim.
I blamed you for everything.
But if I can't even remember Vegas--
- We were not good for each other, Artie.
I mean, you let me give you a prison tattoo of my initials.
- What? When?
Where?
Okay, look, um, you wanted to talk, right?
- White love is weird.
[dramatic music playing on TV]
- America has spoken, and...
both: You should bang!
- Reggie, I need to give you this.
I can't wear it on "Ex Peninsula."
- Isn't the whole point of the show that you're engaged?
- No.
The whole point is, on the Peninsula, you're not.
- Seriously? You're taking it?
- Is she still going on that show?
Are you letting her? - It's her fault.
She's trying to make me jealous with that nerd.
- Holy hell.
- Well, Reggie was giving Tobin's wife
front-row seats to the ham factory.
- Why would there be seats in a ham factory, Brina?
Think!
- Okay, you two are acting like Brix and Slinky
on season 4 of "Ex Peninsula."
If the two of them had just gone
to the Valtrex Confession Pool
and had the courage to be honest with each other,
they'd still be alive today.
- Monica, it's starting!
If you miss the recap, you'll be confused!
[dramatic music playing on TV]
.
- You weren't wrong.
I did come here because I do want something from you.
- I knew it! You'll burn, witch!
I am so sorry.
That is force of habit.
- I want a divorce.
After you left, I was pissed off.
At first, I was gonna do a "Cape Fear."
- In what sense?
- Ride around under your car and seduce your daughter.
But then I decided to lay low,
because maybe one day you'd get back on top
and I'd swoop in and take half.
- I mean, I wasn't exaggerating before.
I have $43.
- But I have been doing a lot of work on myself,
and I realized...
it's time to move on.
My AI therapist tells me the truest form of closure
is the cleansing violence of fire.
[laughs] But this is a good first step.
- I'm sorry for how I reacted when you first showed up.
- Clearly, you aren't as far along on your healing journey.
That's why I had to give you time to get there on your own.
- Well, you didn't give me time.
Your car broke down.
- I'll see you in the monkey pages.
[car door closes, engine turning over]
[tires squealing]
- Those were divorce papers, right?
I didn't actually read them.
But she's changed.
It's fine.
Right?
- This couple must now confess their true motivations,
or risk losing each other forever.
- Monica, I found it!
It was sending the audio to the patio speakers.
Wait, does that happen a lot?
That you hear audio of stuff that I'm watching?
Mm.
- This is a confession pool...
and my confession is, I love you.
I don't want to ruin our wedding.
- You won't. You just got to take your Imodium, baby.
- It's not just that.
I just want it to be perfect.
It's not gonna be perfect if every story about it
starts with "Disgraced former football player
marries blah-blah-blah."
- Hold up. That's it?
I called in François Henry for that?
Reggie, if blah-blah-blah cared about that,
she wouldn't be marrying you.
- Really?
Because, Bri, you're blah-blah-blah.
You kind of jumped out the window
about this wedding planning.
- The only reason I jumped out the window
is because you were dragging your feet,
and it was making me feel--
Ugh, what's the word?
Issa Rae did a whole HBO about it.
Insecure.
I did not care for it.
- Do you think I could get anyone better than you?
- Oh, baby.
- Let's set a date for it right now.
But I was serious about Halloween.
- Obviously.
I'm not starting our marriage off haunted.
[laughter]
- Wow. You're watching history right now,
the first engagement ever to make it through the Peninsula.
- I hope she survives the Loyalty Swamp
and swims home to D'Rick. - Oh.
- Hey, François.
Oh, are you leaving?
- My sexual work here is done. - Okay.
Do you have a car coming, or--
- No, but things tend to work out for me.
I have no needs,
only wants that come true.
[sighs]
- Yeah. He's gonna be fine.
[door opens]
- Oh.
Oh, wow. It's morning.
How long were we down there?
- 6 seasons, 16 episodes per season,
44 minutes per episode--
70 hours. - Mom, it's Sunday.
You missed church. - Well, I needed it.
I had to turn my brain off and get a break from the insanity.
Now I'm recharged, ready to face the world.
Women aren't allowed to do what now?
- What an episode.
For all of us here at "Ex Peninsula," I'm Tug Chase,
and I'm AI.
- Good night, everybody. - Good night.
