On her 27th birthday, Maia approaches her boss, Alyssa, for a promotion. Alyssa is hesitant, citing Maia's lack of experience in a managerial role. Before their conversation is interrupted by a phone call, Maia describes her relationship with Tallulah, now an estranged friend living in New York City, as a time when she had a talent manager role. Later, Maia arrives home to find that Tallulah has come to Los Angeles, as arranged by their friend Alani. Their reunion is awkward, and Maia says her request for promotion was successful. At Maia's birthday party, the pair reveal they have both been lying about their successes, and decide that Tallulah will move to Los Angeles and live with Maia as a client.

Maia is trying to organize a management plan for Tallulah over coffee when they are interrupted by Paulena, an acquaintance of Tallulah's from New York, who accuses her of stealing her Balenciaga bag. Maia becomes worried that Paulena will press charges in New York, potentially affecting Tallulah's career. Tallulah attempts to make amends, telling her she is six weeks sober and inviting her to dinner with Maia and her boyfriend Dylan. Paulena manipulates Maia and Dylan into doing cocaine with her, but Maia pretends to instigate a fight with Dylan to make Paulena uncomfortable and leave. After leaving, she overhears Maia and Tallulah laughing about the act, and decides to post a video to her followers disparaging Tallulah.
