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.
Paulena's video goes viral, putting Tallulah's career in jeopardy. Maia reassures Tallulah that she will handle the situation, seeking help from her firm, who provide her with a pre-written apology statement. Alani encourages Tallulah to go out and enjoy herself amidst the controversy, going to a restaurant. Maia, overhearing advice from a mother, is questioning her firm's approach, while Paulena continues to post videos. Maia and Tallulah learn information from Alani, including that Paulena's family previously owned Rikers Island and now manufactures chemical weapons. They use the information to prepare a response video, going against Alyssa's advice of apologizing. Consequently, Maia is informed that Tallulah has been dropped from a shampoo deal, but she receives a text from Balenciaga asking for her address.
Maia, Tallulah, Alani and Charlie go to a party at Elijah Wood's house, hosted by Quenlin, an influencer Tallulah has been talking to since her rebuttal video went live. At the party, Quenlin takes Tallulah away to talk about her career and they decide to record a video together for a recent TikTok trend, though Quenlin makes them do many takes, obsessing about every detail. Meanwhile, Maia and Alani go upstairs and find Elijah in his bedroom watching The Simpsons. The pair interpret him asking them to wear robes and join him on his bed as a proposition for a threesome, but realize they have misunderstood the degree of his germaphobia and leave the party alongside Tallulah and Charlie.
