Part 4, Chapter 4 Summary

Josh reflects on the life he imagined with Sophie when he purchased his loft apartment, which has not happened because Sophie broke up with him for a job in Dubai. He answers his door, expecting a food delivery, but it’s Briar and his mother, Abby, who chide him for ignoring their messages. Abby plans to store “clutter” from Brodsky’s storage space in Josh’s empty apartment while they work to sell the building after The Brod’s failure.

Briar suggests reopening it as a deli, which Josh quickly rejects; the extremely poor reception of his restaurant still stings his pride. Briar and Abby urge him to move on from Sophie. Briar shows him women on a dating app, which Josh dislikes as a method for meeting potential partners.

Ari and Radhya browse at a sex-toy shop to help cheer Ari up after Cass leaves her for another woman. This betrayal stings even more because Ari had agreed to Cass’s request that they practice “relationship anarchy,” which allowed for unrestricted sexual partners. Ari now lives in the empty apartment that she once shared with Cass. Radhya discourages Ari from continuing to speak to Cass, whom Radhya dislikes, while Ari struggles with a low-paying gig writing comedic speeches for others.
