1 | 1 | "There Is No Line" | Lucia Aniello | Lucia Aniello & Paul W. Downs & Jen Statsky | May 13, 2021 | |
Deborah Vance, a legendary standup comedian with a permanent residency at the Palmetto Casino in Las Vegas, learns that her ex-husband Frank – who left her for her younger sister decades earlier – has died. The day before, Deborah had been informed by Marty, the Palmetto's CEO, that her weekend tour dates are being given to new acts in an attempt to attract younger audiences. An incensed Deborah calls her manager, Jimmy, who suggests she hire a writer. Though Deborah declines, saying that she writes her own jokes, Jimmy offers the job to Ava Daniels, a struggling writer from Los Angeles who has recently lost a TV deal after making an offensive joke on Twitter. Ava flies to Las Vegas to meet Deborah, who is unaware of her arrival; the meeting quickly turns hostile, with the two women trading barbed yet comedic retorts before Ava leaves, put off by Deborah's arrogant behavior. However, Deborah, impressed with Ava's comic ability, hires her. | ||||||
2 | 2 | "Primm" | Lucia Aniello | Paul W. Downs | May 13, 2021 | |
When Deborah does not use any of the material Ava has written for her, Ava claims it is difficult to write in Deborah's voice without knowing her personally. Deborah suggests that the two take a road trip, which Ava learns is only for Deborah to procure an expensive pepper shaker from an antique dealer who hates her; the dealer refuses to sell the shaker unless Deborah apologizes for outbidding him years earlier on an expensive collection, which she refuses to do. On the way home, Deborah's car suffers a flat tire; she has a friend pick her up in a helicopter, leaving Ava behind. Ava gets a faulty tire replacement and returns to the antique store, where she acquires the pepper shaker by threatening to break one of the other items in the dealer's shop. Deborah is pleasantly surprised that Ava was able to procure the shaker. She later tasks Ava with digitizing her entire archive, comprising 40 years' worth of Deborah's performances. | ||||||
3 | 3 | "A Gig's a Gig" | Lucia Aniello | Lucia Aniello | May 20, 2021 | |
At the opening of a new pizza restaurant, Deborah is asked to do a photo op that references her burning down her ex-husband's house decades earlier. When Ava tells her it is degrading, Deborah feels insulted, and retaliates by going on a tour bus and publicly making fun of Ava for sending nude photos to her ex-girlfriend. While sorting through Deborah's archive, Ava opens a package from Deborah's sister Kathy that she finds in the trash. She discovers old clippings from Deborah's early career, including a Time cover story regarding her upcoming, but ultimately unaired pilot for a late-night talk show (which would have made Deborah the first female late-night host). Ava finds a tape of the unaired show and laughs at Deborah's jokes for the first time while watching the video, becoming emotional when a young Deborah thanks her husband and sister for their support. She is unaware that Deborah is eavesdropping on her, before quietly slipping away. | ||||||
4 | 4 | "D'Jewelry" | Desiree Akhavan | Joanna Calo | May 20, 2021 | |
After Deborah refuses to pitch her daughter DJ's jewelry line to QVC, Ava goes with DJ to a trade show and the two bond over their mutual resentment. Ava learns that DJ pays paparazzi to take unflattering photos of her mother to sell, then discovers that Deborah allows it to happen so DJ can earn a living. Deborah and her manager Marcus go to Marty's daughter's bat mitzvah, where Deborah tries and fails to convince Marty not to cut her dates. Marty and Deborah drink together and nearly kiss, but Marty's young girlfriend Ivy walks in. Deborah flatters her into secretly giving her a tour of Marty's home while taking photos of Marty's art and possessions. Later, Ava calls her mother to finally come clean about having lost her television deal but hangs up when her mother panics about Ava's financial stability. Once Ava returns to the hotel, Deborah calls her to ask about her hotel bills, and they end up watching TV together over the phone and making jokes. | ||||||
5 | 5 | "Falling" | Paul W. Downs | Andrew Law | May 27, 2021 | |
Deborah uses the photos of Marty's possessions – which he paid for using company funds – to blackmail him into restoring her weekend tour dates. She then spends the night getting drunk at the casino bar rather than working on her comedy material. Ava meets a man, George, with whom she instantly bonds; the two spend the night taking drugs, exploring Las Vegas, and having sex. They also run into Ava's former writing partners, who inform her no one wants to work with her not because of her offensive tweet, but because she is selfish. George convinces Ava to stop working for Deborah; an intoxicated Ava leaves a voicemail for Deborah announcing she is quitting. The following morning, Ava finds that George committed suicide by jumping from the hotel window; authorities inform her George was escaping elder fraud charges and spent the last of his money in Las Vegas before killing himself. Ava decides to keep her job and frantically rushes to Deborah's home to apologize for the voicemail but learns that Deborah did not use her phone all night. Deborah has Ava join her for a spa retreat. | ||||||
6 | 6 | "New Eyes" | Lucia Aniello | Lucia Aniello & Paul W. Downs & Jen Statsky | May 27, 2021 | |
While Deborah is unconscious from painkillers she receives for cosmetic surgery at the retreat, Ava attempts to unlock her phone to delete the incriminating voicemail. Ava learns that Deborah's phone is unlocked via facial recognition; when the camera fails to recognize Deborah due to her swollen, bandaged face, Ava uses Deborah's wax replica at Madame Tussauds to unlock the phone and delete the voicemail. Upon returning to the spa, Ava takes edibles with Deborah. While high, Deborah admits that Frank fabricated the claim that Deborah burned down his house out of jealousy for cheating on her with Kathy, and that she incorporated the rumor into her comedy routine after the public refused to believe her pleas of innocence. Ava encourages Deborah to update her comedy material by sharing the truth about not just the fire, but who she really is. Ava suffers abdominal pain and winds up in the hospital with a ruptured ovarian cyst. When she awakens, Deborah agrees to slowly make her comedy more reflective of the truth; she and Ava laugh together as Deborah shares other stories. | ||||||
7 | 7 | "Tunnel of Love" | Desiree Akhavan | Katherine Kearns | June 3, 2021 | |
Ava and Deborah attend DJ's birthday party, during which DJ announces her engagement to Aidan, a mixed martial artist she recently met. Things go well until dinner, when all of the guests are invited by DJ to make speeches. After toasting her daughter and admitting her regret over how their relationship has deteriorated, Deborah insists that she sign a prenuptial agreement. DJ refuses, and her mother proceeds to loudly embarrass her in front of all the attending guests. Ava privately consoles DJ by suggesting that she make decisions for herself rather than for her mother's approval. In response, DJ decides to marry Aidan that night, and has Ava drive them to a drive-through chapel to perform the ceremony inside the car. Ava broadcasts the ceremony on her phone so Deborah can witness it. Marty and Deborah dance and share drinks at her house, which results in the two of them having sex. | ||||||
8 | 8 | "1.69 Million" | Paul W. Downs | Pat Regan | June 3, 2021 | |
The morning after sleeping with her, Marty informs Deborah that her residency at the Palmetto is being terminated. An enraged Deborah enlists Ava's help in planning an impromptu show at a local comedy club so they can workshop new material. At the club – which has hosted Deborah since the beginning of her career – Ava is dismayed to learn that its late former owner, Ira, was known for sexually harassing female comics with impunity. When Ava asks Deborah why she never reported the harassment, Deborah is offended at the idea that she did not do enough for female comics in the industry. However, Deborah then notices the club's current owner, Drew, making inappropriate sexual comments towards her warm-up act. During her set, she condemns Drew onstage and offers him $1.69 million if he promises to leave the industry for good. Drew accepts, leading to cheers and applause from the crowd. Ava gets a call from Kayla, Jimmy's assistant at the talent agency, who tells her she has landed Ava a lucrative interview with a high-profile British production company in Los Angeles. | ||||||
9 | 9 | "Interview" | Lucia Aniello | Samantha Riley | June 10, 2021 | |
In the middle of planning Deborah's final show at the Palmetto, Ava leaves to go to her interview with the producers in Los Angeles, lying to Deborah that she has a doctor's appointment. While there, she reconnects with her ex-girlfriend. Marcus finds out through Ava's sublet tenant the real reason why Ava is in Los Angeles; already envious of Ava's relationship with Deborah, he calls Jimmy and lies that Deborah knows about this and is angry with Ava. Jimmy calls Deborah to apologize, inadvertently revealing to her Ava's deception. Ava impresses the two producers interviewing her and is hired on the spot. However, she rejects the offer after learning that the producers want to create a show about a "crazy" woman and are only interested in Ava because they want her to share slanderous stories about Deborah as material. Upon returning to Las Vegas, Ava learns that Deborah cancelled her pre-show, leaving no time to rehearse her performance. | ||||||
10 | 10 | "I Think She Will" | Lucia Aniello | Ariel Karlin & Jen Statsky | June 10, 2021 | |
While preparing for her final show, Deborah confronts Ava over taking the Los Angeles interview and says she is eschewing the new material in favor of her usual routine. The two argue; when Deborah slaps Ava for calling her a "hack", Ava quits her job. Ava later calls Kayla asking for the email address of the producers she met with in Los Angeles so she can sell them information on Deborah. Deborah promotes Marcus to CEO of her business. Before going onstage, she unwraps a gift Ava left for her: a framed magazine cover titled "Will Deborah Vance Make History?" with a handwritten note from Ava reading "I think she will." Moved by the gesture, Deborah decides to perform the new material onstage. Ava, meanwhile, flies to her parents' home in Boston for her father Dennis's funeral. Deborah suddenly appears and livens up the eulogy with humor, helping the guests reminisce about Dennis. Later, back at home, Ava apologizes to Deborah, who informs her that although her final Las Vegas show was a failure, she sees potential in the material and wants to go on tour with Ava to improve it. Ava happily accepts, but receives a call from Jimmy while boarding her flight asking why she sent an email slandering Deborah to the production company. |
