You, Again

Ari throws herself into her job at WinProv, a gig that is easy but uninspiring, to avoid thinking about Josh. She is uncomfortable working with companies that have unethical practices, but Brad, her boss, dismisses these concerns. When Josh crosses her mind, she tries to focus on her anger to avoid her “heartsick feeling.” She gradually moves through her probationary period at WinProv and begins to run her own workshops, which does not increase her pleasure in her job.

Josh wastes time browsing records to avoid his heartbreak. Briar tries to set him up on dates. He puzzles over what Ari’s social media posts might mean. Radhya texts him that she has the pasta machine he left at Ari’s house.

When Josh picks up the pasta machine from Radhya’s apartment, he is surprised to find her having dinner with Briar. Briar orchestrated the meeting, as she thinks that Josh and Radhya should collaborate on a pop-up restaurant that combines Radhya’s background in Gujarati cuisine and Josh’s family’s connection to New York deli classics. Briar thinks that the restaurant should be in the Brodsky’s building, contending that Abby, a well-known realtor, has only held it on the market for so long because she doesn’t want to sell.
