The accessories by Luca line
is going to be put on hold.
Previously on "mistresses"...
This polyamorous stuff can be tricky,
especially when you're the third.
You know yesterday when you mentioned
my mother coming for a visit?
Me and my mom -- we don't get on that well.
I'm sorry to hear that.
You've got a boyfriend?
It's Ellis.
You're Ellis' girlfriend?
His mistress, actually.
Uh, I don't understand.
How c--
w-why?
I'm sorry. I probably should've told you before.
Yes.
Telling me you were Ellis' mistress
prior to our sleeping together would've been helpful
because it would've prevented the -- the sleeping together.
Which is why I didn't tell you. I needed this to happen.
What -- sorry. What? Y-you needed?
Ellis and I are in the middle of a thing.
He's been all about the wife lately, taking me for granted,
but it's hard to rattle that guy
when he's so annoyingly confident.
That's why you were the perfect person.
Yeah, no -- no, sorry. I'm still not following.
You rattle him.
I...
So, what? Wait. You -- you planned this.
I've been toying with the idea for a while.
Not as a pure revenge thing,
but, you know, obviously, I'm attracted to you, too.
It was kind of a win-win.
I meant for me.
Did it, at any point, occur to you
that I might lose my job over this?
That won't happen. He'll be pissed, but he'll get over it.
He needs you, Harry. Trust me.
Yeah. Well, trusting you is no longer an option, Niko.
And you cannot -- cannot --
tell Ellis about this, right?
[ Chuckling ] Harry, we work at a restaurant
in which the entire staff watched us leave together.
I'm sorry, but it's out of my hands.
I wasn't sure of exactly your size,
but we can exchange it.
I love it, grandma! Thank you!
Lucy, five-minute warning.
Mom, can I please, please, please stay home today?
From school? No way!
But grandma's only here for two days.
And we'll have a special dinner together tonight.
You can even wear your new dress.
Now, let's get a move on, young lady. Get your stuff.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Oh!
I have something for you, too.
Oh, mom, you didn't have to do that.
Can never have too many.
Sure, especially not
when you sell them in your own store.
Well, if you all would excuse me,
I had a long drive, and i-i just want to freshen up.
So, what are you ladies up to today?
Well, I don't know what she's doing, but I have to work.
The store isn't gonna open itself, Marc.
All right, Lucy! Let's go! Now, now, now!
[ Keyboard clacking ]
Don't you ever sleep?
I log in my five hours.
That's all I need.
Of course it is.
[ Groans ]
Good morning.
Where's Vivian?
Her sister went into early labor.
She drove down to San Diego to be there for the birth.
Oh.
When is she coming back?
A few days.
I'm sure she'll call when she gets there.
I should probably get going.
Dinner tonight?
Oh. I-i can't. I have my poker game.
You play poker?
Not very well.
It's my attempt at a social life.
Tomorrow night?
[ Sighs ]
Sure.
Great.
I'll pour you a cup of coffee before you go.

[ Exhales ] Sorry I'm late.
Calista: I am so sick of this!
I want you out of my house now!
It's not your house, baby.
You know what -- in fact, after what you did to me,
I'm taking it all --
the Paris apartment, the loft in soho,
the vineyards in Ojai.
You're delusional!
Yeah, well, we'll see what the courts say.
Good luck with that.
I don't need luck, 'cause I got the facts --
you and Wilson.
What, you thought i didn't know about that? Huh?
And unlike you, I got the pictures to prove it.
You're bluffing.
Mm?
Yeah. You know what?
We'll see.
Are you okay? Just breathe.
How much did you hear?
A lot. I'm sorry.
You and Wilson? Calista, why didn't you tell me?
Because it's embarrassing.
I know what a huge hypocrite that makes me look like,
and I didn't want it to affect the way you see me.
Hello? I'm Joss. I don't judge.
It was after Luca's second -- second -- affair,
and I felt stupid and I felt sad and alone,
and Wilson was -- he was there,
and he was -- he was kind.
You really don't have to justify yourself to me.
Breathe.
Just -- this is insane! I know.
This is insane! Okay.
He's the one that did this! I know.
He's the one that ruined this marriage! Just come on.
Just -- he's the one.
And -- and I'm gonna have to pay for it!
Okay, just...
We don't know that yet, okay?
You're probably right. He's probably bluffing.
If he had that kind of evidence against you,
don't you think he would've used it by now?
Right?
[ Sighs ]
Maybe. Maybe. Probably. Yeah.
So it's your word against his.
I mean...Unless...
You don't think that Wilson would testify against you?
No, no, no. Wilson loves me.
More than my husband ever did.
Just breathe.

And then she gave me this candle --
cinnamon and clove --
which is seasonal, which means she just had it lying around.
So, she's just spending the day at your place...Alone?
Well, what can I do? I have to work.
Things get really busy around lunchtime.
Look, I get it.
After what happened between you two --
let's not even go there.
I wasn't going to, but you did invite her.
Because Blair thought it would be a good idea for Lucy.
Then make it fun for Lucy. Give them a chance to bond.
You have to at least look like you're making an effort.
[ Gasps ] I have an idea.
Why don't you, Alec, and Vivian come over for dinner tonight?
That might take some of the pressure off.
You're gonna try to explain my relationship to your daughter?
Hell no.
But I wouldn't mind watching my mom's head explode
while I try explaining it to her.
[ Chuckles ]
As much as I'd love to help you with that,
uh, Vivian's out of town, so it's just me and Alec.
Just Alec and me.
Is that a problem?
It shouldn't be, but it is.
Being alone with him -- i don't know.
It kind of feels like I'm cheating on Vivian.
I have no idea how to give advice in this situation.
[ Bells jingle ] That's okay. I have no idea how to be in the situation.
[ Joss sighs ]
Men are the freakin' worst.
What happened now?
Is it Harry?
No, it's [Sighs] calista.
She's just -- she's going through a really hard time,
and I feel awful for her, you know?
[ Clears throat ]
What?
It's just hard to feel too bad for someone who owns a yacht.
She time-shares the yacht.
What about the team of racehorses?
Ladies, money does not buy you happiness. Trust me.
You don't know her like I do.
She's -- she's funny and she's super-generous,
and -- oh, my god,
the crap that her husband is putting her through --
she doesn't deserve it.
I wish that there was something that I could do to help.
Joss, i am the first to agree
that lying husbands are the worst,
but other than being there for her,
there's not much else you can do.
No. I refuse to believe that. There's always something.
I wouldn't get too involved if I were you.
You don't really know these people.
Something tells me she's getting involved.
I don't blame her for not listening to me.
I'm dating a married couple.

Do you sell these here?

Uh, this is true.
You know.
I do.
[ Groans ]
So, Niko...
Is officially working at the sls
as of, uh, three hours ago.
Ellis transferred her to one of his other restaurants.
He did indeed.
Which means he knows. Goes to follow.
[ Exhales deeply ]
So, now what -- I'm supposed to go...Kiss the ring,
apologize for something i didn't even know I was doing?
No. I-i-it's absurd.
Maybe. Although a little ring kissing never hurts.
Forget it. I'll just quit.
I'll get a new gig, beat him to the punch.
[ Chuckling ] Yeah, sure you will, buddy.
Might have to be in Utah, but I hear the skiing there is nice, so that's a plus.
Oh, come on. He doesn't own every bloody restaurant in this city.
No, just half of them.
And his friends own the other half.
[ Sighs ]
But, you know, if you were, like, Rachael ray,
then he couldn't touch you.
What are you talking about? I'm nothing like Rachael ray.
Well, you're both appealing in your own different ways.
My point is, if you market yourself,
brand yourself like those celebrity chefs,
then you'd never have to answer
to some corporate sleaze like Ellis Boone.
You'd always be your own boss.
H-how does one become a brand?
You need an agent.
And I happen to have slept with an assistant
to one of the bigwigs at imaginative talent agency --
twice.
Really?
An assistant?
Hey, they're the real kingmakers.
If you want, i can make a call,
see if her boss would sit down with you.
[ Thud ]
Yeah, yeah. Make the call.
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughing ] I could not believe they were in my court.
Oh, and, grandma, did I tell you
Garrett winterbaum asked me to a party next weekend?
Wait. Who's Garrett winterbaum?
[ Sighs ] I'm not even sure i want to go,
but my friend Becky, she was on my camping trip --
you went camping?
Yeah, mom took me.
I thought you hated the great outdoors.
I don't hate it. I just prefer air-conditioning and mattresses.
It was supposed to be a punishment.
Ohhhhh. Now, that makes more sense.
All right, little people, pajama time.
Are you kidding? It's so early.
Well, you need to get a good night's sleep for tomorrow.
I was thinking that maybe the three of us can go to Zuma beach
[ gasps ] And have lunch at Malibu country mart.
Are you serious? I can skip school?
Only if you finish all of your homework
and get to bed before 10:00.
Done.
[ Laughs ] Get out of here.
Can I come, too?
Oh, I wish you could, sweetie,
but your grandma's coming in from Florida
to pick you up tomorrow, remember?
Now go put on your pajamas, and I'll help you finish packing.

Oh, I'm not giving up. Don't forget how we met.

That would be a miracle. Miracles are for poor people.

Maybe I can could Joe zee to tweet about it.
Oh, I'll tweet, too. I've got like 30 followers at least.
Sure.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Yeah, I could probably make some time for that in a few weeks.
In a few weeks, Ari won't remember your name.
You need to strike now, while things are hot.
Host an impromptu class,
post the details on a few social-media sites,
and call Ari, ask her to come --
maybe even send flowers.
Really? Flowers? That's a bit much, isn't it?
It shows initiative.
Why would anyone even come to a cooking class
on such short notice?

bored people looking for free things...
And/or sex.

I understand why you're upset.
I do.
But...
I think you're making this
into something bigger than it needs to be.
Of course you think that.
Nothing is ever a big deal to you.
Well, that's not true.
But according to your daughter,
everything is always a big deal to you.
Wow.
And that, honey,
is just adding to the tension that you two already have.
You know, maybe if Lucy did come
and spend a couple of days with me,
it would give the two of you a break, you know?

I'm never leaving my daughter alone with you

Driving drunk with a toddler is not an accident.
It is a felony.
But I guess those rules don't apply to you.

For you, it's just another "no big deal." For the millionth time,
I wasn't drunk.
I had two glasses of wine with dinner.
I'm not having this conversation with you.
What conversation?!
You have a drinking problem,
and the fact that you still don't see that?!
I can't see what isn't there.
You know what?
I thought that you had finally moved past all this nonsense.
If you still feel that way, why did you invite me?
Truthfully, it wasn't my idea.
And as far as I'm concerned, you have no place in my home.
Now, you need to start with a, uh, a good base.
Can anyone give me an example of a-a good dressing base?
Like, when y-you go to a restaurant,
and they give you vinegar and...
[ Breathes deeply ]
...olive oil.
Okay, that was a tricky one.
I thought we were gonna learn how to make your soufflé.
Soufflé?

Did it?
Also said there'd be wine.

[ Sighs ]
I know you've already made up your mind,
but I just have to say, I think what you're doing is crazy.
Please don't start. Please. I'm already nervous enough.
Of course you're nervous. What your "friend" is asking --
okay, don't say "friend" like that. She is my friend.
A real friend would never ask you to prostitute yourself.
First of all, she didn't ask me. It was my idea.
And I'm not actually gonna sleep with the guy.
That's not the point.
If I was doing this for April,
you wouldn't even bat an eyelash.
But you're not, because April would never let you do this.
[ Sighs ]
I'm just...Nervous, that's all.
I don't know this guy at all.
I don't know what he's capable of.
I promise you nothing is gonna happen to me.
[ Knock on door ] I can take care of myself.
Something is so wrong with my phone.
Uh, the texts aren't sending.
There's bad reception in the lobby.
Have a good night.
Here. Let me get you the Wi-Fi password.
You look incredible.
Ohh.
Luca's gonna die when he sees you.
There. You're all set.
[ Sighing ] Yeah.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for doing this.
You're welcome.
We're gonna nail him.
Okay? Mm.
I'll meet you back here when it's done.
[ Sighs ]
[ Engine turns over ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Vehicle departs ]
Why didn't you tell me about the accident?
[ Sighs ] Oh, sweetie.
Because I remember -- pieces, anyway.
Like the sirens and the hospital room
and grandma.
But it's all so blurry,
like it happened to someone else or a TV show or something.
I wish that were the case.
So, why didn't you just tell me?
Sometimes the hardest thing about being a parent
is deciding what to shield your kids from.
And, obviously, I haven't always made the right decisions,
because look at us, Lucy -- look at where we are.
All I wanted was to give you a childhood,
not force you to grow up so fast --
to hold on to the good memories
of your dad and your grandma.
Because you know what?
I never had that luxury.
[ Sighs ]
And I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. [ Inhales sharply ]
But I'm doing the best I can.
I love you, mom.
[ Sighs ]
[ Crying ]
I love you, too, sweetie.
[ Sighs deeply ]
Go for the cookies.
How'd you know that's what I wanted?
'Cause I know what you like.

[ Inhales deeply ]
Thank you. Thanks.
Yeah, thanks for coming. Appreciate it.
See you, guys. See you next time.
Oh. Yeah, selfie. Love a good selfie.
[ Camera clicks ]
Good on you, mate. Cheers.
Ari.
So lovely to see you again.
Don't tell me you want to get a picture, too.
That's fine. Come on.
You're not impressive enough for my instagram.
[ Chuckles ]
Yet.
Ah. So there's hope.
Maybe.
Drink?
You really love cooking, don't you?
Well, yeah. Of course.
You say it like it's obvious,
but most of the people I work with, there's no passion --
not for the food or the art form.
Maybe they started out that way,
but by the time they get to me,
it's all about the merchandising --
the celebrity.
Well... I like to eat.
Me too.
And you know what? I actually had fun tonight.
I had some fun.
And fun is something my life has been needing of late,
so thank you for lighting a fire under my ass.
Get used to it.
Oh, yeah?
To the beginning of a...Beautiful friendship.
Cheers to that.
This was...
Unavoidable, apparently.
Just say what you're thinking.
I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't tell Vivian about this.
Oh, I don't know if I can do that.
I...
I can't lie to my wife.
Can't lie to my wife again.
I've never asked you to lie.
Well, you just said --
I'm just [Sighs] saying what I'm thinking.
I don't know if it's right. I don't know what's right.
Neither do I.
I just don't want to make her feel bad or...Hurt.
Would you be hurt...
If she and I slept together without you?
No, but...
It's different. Yeah.
I think so. I don't -- I don't know --
can it be my decision?
Whether or not we tell Vivian?
[ Sighs ]
Sure.
Thank you.
[ Door opens, closes ]
Yo.
Hey.
How was Harry's teaching debut?
Nailed it.
How'd it go with your mom?
I noticed her car wasn't in the driveway.
She...Went home early.
You were right. I shouldn't have asked her to come.
Well...
[ Sighs ]
...why did you?
Because Blair thought --
right -- Blair.
He made a lot of good points, and I thought maybe...
But the fact is, he didn't have all of the information,
so it's not his fault.
Well, why didn't you give him all the information?
Because we're still so early in this relationship --
or whatever it is.
I don't need him knowing my dirty laundry.
That's what my friends are for.
Yeah.
But the thing is, April...
You were the one who was right.
I went to take out the trash this morning...
And it made this weird clanking noise.
Buried underneath the empty box of chicken nuggets...
[ Sighs ]
I wasn't sure if I should show you.
Is it possible to be completely not surprised
and yet so disappointed?
Yeah.
That's about the rub of it.

Hi.
I'm -- I'm sorry to bother you this late.
Ah, it's no bother at all.
Jessica?
Josslyn.
That is such a pretty name.
Thank you.
Come in.
You know, I think I may have left my phone here.
I...I can't find it anywhere.
Oh.
What's your number?
Hm?
So I can call it.
Oh. Good idea.
[ Chuckles lightly ]
You are a lifesaver.
[ Cellphone ringing in distance ]
Mm. I can hear it.
It's upstairs.
[ Inhales deeply ]
After you.
[ Ringing continues ]
Ah.
Hmm.
Well...
[ Grunts ]
It, uh, must've fallen out of my pocket.
Hm.
You and calista still in a fight?
Mm, you can't fight with someone who won't take your calls.
Aw, that's too bad.
You know, I have a fantastic way you could get back at her.
Well, aren't you helpful.
I try.

You are feisty.
Mm.
I like that.

Oh, just one second. Huh?
Just one second, one second, one second. Hold on.
Oh, come on. Just wait, wait.
Just give me one second.
I just need to freshen up.
Just -- let me just freshen up really quick.
What? Yeah.
Don't keep me waiting too long.
I won't. I won't. I promise.

Be right out!
