Disillusioned with trying to live a happy family life after her encounter with Sam, Lucy decides to leave the house and go to work. She and Felix check their online posting to see if anyone has responded to their ad, but the only response is a picture of male genitalia, which Lucy quickly hides from Felix.
When Lucy arrives at the office, several members of the team present ideas for the Kydz Network pitch. Lucy, not having memories of all the developments in children’s television over the years, has trouble spotting issues with the proposed shows. For instance, one show is too similar to MicroBots, while another is reminiscent of trends in TV 15 years ago. When it is Lucy’s turn to pitch, it gets worse, as her ideas are quickly dismissed or panned by the team. She tries one of Future Lucy’s ideas that she found in the home office, but it turns out that they already tried that idea as a pilot, and it failed.
Michael pulls Lucy aside and suggests that she is experiencing symptoms of menopause, like his wife Jane. Lucy lets him make this assumption because it is easier than trying to explain the truth.
