[Liberty] Oh, my God, I cannot believe that just happened.
[Allura] Okay, calm down.
[Liberty] Did you hear what that asshole said?
"Children should be seen and not heard."
He meant us. Who the fuck does he think he is?
Um, senior managing partner.
-They were laughing in our faces. -[laughter]
They don't care.
They don't take divorce law or women seriously.
I'm telling you, it is time.
It is.
-[whispers] How do we do it? -[Dina] How do you do what?
I realized you wanted to leave the firm
before you even realized it, four months ago.
And she said, "That's not your elbow."
[laughter]
[Dina] I've seen your faces in those meetings.
I was the token woman here for a decade.
Why did you stay?
I broke down barriers to get here, to make full partner.
Until I hired you, I was the only woman here.
But now is a different time.
All I ask is that you start your own firm.
You don't go somewhere else in this building.
That's what we want. Our own boutique.
Women representing women, only.
Yes!
You both are an idea whose time has come.
You can take one person with you.
A staff member or a lawyer, not a client.
[Emerald] Be quiet while I'm talking
and tell your two brothers I said to shut up too.
Until I find out which one of you degenerates wrote
on my couch with a sharpie,

-You understand me? -[Liberty clears throat]
H-hold on.
Hi, can I help you?
We're leaving to start our own firm,
and we want you to be our lead investigator.
Let Mommy call you back.
Is Dina firing me? I-I do a good job.
You're amazing. That's why we need you.
But I got a good thing going here.
I got bills, a--
And eight-year-old triplet boys
that you were just cussing out on the phone?
[groans] They're monsters.
We'll make you full partner
and a multimillionaire within two years.
Let me get my purse.
[♪ upbeat music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
You're leaving?
Not everyone knows.
Well, Emerald knows!
I have the most billable hours, taken on the most cases,
I've put in the work, and you know it.
Why can't you choose me? Why?
Because you've never learned to be human or navigate space
-between what you want and-- -How much you want it.
Also, you routinely steal our lunches from the refrigerator.
Okay. Look, I'll write everyone's briefs.
Just don't leave me here with America's original pilgrim
and her fucking Puritan partners.
Okay. You know what?
Never mind, Kuz McGee's.
Dina will destroy you if you leave.
Dina already gave us her blessing.
Good luck.
I'm your fucking protégé! I'm the hardest worker!
The smartest fucking A student!
And I'm the one they're abandoning?
That's a gift from Golda Meir.
Do you know what Golda is famous for saying?
"Not being beautiful was the true blessing.
It forced me to develop my inner resources."
[snickers]
Are you calling me an ugly duckling?
-[sighs] -So what if I give myself home perms?
It's economical! Fuck you!
Carr, being angry is easy.
Figuring out who you want to be and how to be it,
that's the work to do if you want to be chosen.
I will start my own law firm.
I will walk out of here.
And I'll pack you a lunch with an apple
and some Pepperidge Farm goldfish.
Grow up, Carr. It's time.

-Correct. -Ding, ding, ding.

First, he rolled out the red carpet:
diamonds, pearls, planes, oh my.

Then kaboom. The dust settles,

Prenup like a straitjacket.
If she left, she got the clothes on her back,

She was a kept woman, not allowed to leave her house,
forced to give up all of her dreams,
forced to give up her friends and family,
and now all she wants is out.
He's worth billions, and yet her settlement request is minimal.
Something smells funky.

What you're saying is that my big life
is just too rich for that little Philly kid.
But you're leaving out all of your success and brilliance.
Yeah, exactly. Why do I forget about all of that in your presence?
I don't know. Why do you?
Because next to you, I feel hopelessly and ridiculously small.
That's not on me, that's on you.
Fuck you.
And don't fucking gaslight me either.
'Cause I've been feeling like this for years,
and I know you have too.
What's going on with you?
I feel like you're not telling me the whole story.
What's really going on? I want a divorce.
You want a divorce?
What are you talking about?
I'm seeing somebody else.

Allura!
How could he do this? How could he want somebody else?
You know what I'ma do?
I'ma find his ass, and I'ma cut off that big, Philly dick.
-[Liberty and Allura laughing] -[Emerald] No, I'ma do it.
I keep a knife in my purse at all times.
Do not think I won't.
[Liberty laughs]
He's intimidated.
Weak men just can't handle strong women.
What? What's that look?
This. This moment.
I always knew this exact moment would darken my doorstep,
and here it is.
What's the moment, honey?
[Allura] That he would leave.
That he was 10 years younger than me,
and he would leave me for someone younger.
I mean, am I no longer vital anymore?
Is it someone else's turn?
Are the best years behind me?
No! Fuck no. The best is yet to come.
Are you crazy? Look... Thank you.
Let me invite you to think about this differently, okay?
This is not about age or age difference.
This right here is about character.
And while we at it, girlfriend, let me speak on you for a second,
because you don't have a good picker.
It's true, you don't.
Flash and trash swivels your head.
[chuckles] I don't disagree.
What? I don't have a good picker?
-Nope. -Not true!
[Emerald] Okay, let's talk about it.
When you first introduced us to Chase, I said,
"Okay, he's cute." You know what I mean?
Stunning face, nice ass, but not that smart.
Didn't have a lot of money.
Could be a little bit of a gold digger.
Face it, you like rough trade.
What? You do.
Okay, but the truth of the matter is maybe that's about control.
I mean, she's got a point.
That last guy, he was just a little sketchy, right?
Oh, my God, DJ Chaos?
Good Lord and good night. You know he was the exact same.
[Liberty] Just a little musky and slightly unwashed.
You know, guys that start out working at gas stations
end up as models.
Wait, so you both thought Chase was a bad choice.
-[Emerald] Yeah! -Why didn't anyone tell me?
Uh, well, we knew you loved him.
And for me, personally, I thought, "Well, guys do it all the time.
They marry younger women, and nobody says a word about it."
So I thought, "Good for you."
And... deep down, I guess I thought it was brave.
Ditto.
I settled. All because of what? Low self-esteem?
Did I not love myself enough?
Oh! Oh n-- Oh. Honey.
Honey.
I'ma keep it real with you.
Then? No, you didn't.
But now you know. So now you can.
I failed. I hate failing.
You know what's coming up?
-[Allura] Hmm? -Sheila Baskin's auction.
We are going to take you to New York, and we are going to buy you
-the most breathtaking piece of bling. -[Emerald] Yes.
And after that, dinner at Kappo Masa
and oysters and martinis 'til dawn.
Yes!
That actually sounds like the best day ever.
Yes, that ought to put a battery in your bag.
[laughter]
Now, who's in for the hot tub?
Come on. Up. [claps hands]
♪♪
[Emerald] Okay, so who is down for skinny dipping 'cause I am.
-[Allura] I am! -[Emerald laughing]

♪♪
Think she knows?
Not yet.
[both moan]
She's gonna make it her mission to know.
Yeah. Well, in the words of Allura Grant...
Mm.
...all's fair in love and war.
