When Noah forbids him from telling him any gossip (no fun!
He doesnt realize how juicy this is!
), Sasha decides to hell with it; he needs to tell Morgan.
I need some sweet release from these chains!
he tells her while on speakerphone with Joanne in the room.
(Shes there to record a podcast, not because she wants to be.)
Her cover was blown the entire time; Rebecca was lying.
Good on Joanne, she apologizes immediately.
Nobody is perfect, but everyone, eventually, owns that.
This show gives us the simple conversations.
They are going to that bat mitzvah, no one fucks with her sister except for her!!
Of course she trips.
Of course, we later find her upset in the bathroom, cutting her dress into something even semi-cute.
(Thankfully, by that point, her mother is more than happy to assist.)
This is supposed to be Miriams day, guys!
The fall isnt totally bad.
Weird, if true!
When Noah is understandably ecstatic about this hey, men really can have it all!
She hasnt thought through any of this!
Thats master-level bitchiness, and I bow down at Morgans feet.
But a few things happen, and the evening takes a turn.
Joanne notices Rebecca get upset and leave.
Whatever it is, I love thatNobody Wants Thisgives Rebecca this moment.
It allows her to be much more fully dimensional.
She apologizes for lying to Morgan; that wasnt her, although it felt good.
Youre the opposite of what hes always wanted, she tells Joanne.
Rebecca is just confused as to how someone like Joanne would fit into Noahs life.
Joanne does seem overwhelmed by the pressure of it all.
It should feel like good pressure, you know?
I hope its what you want, she says before walking away.
Its not all romance and joy, and its going to be difficult, too.
She sees how happy Noah is this is his life-long dream coming true.
She has to pull him aside.
Like, just punch me right in the heart, Bell and Brody!
She isnt ready, and she doesnt know if she will ever be.
Desperate, he tells her they can slow things down and that he doesnt want to lose her.
You need me to be something that I cant promise that I can be.
If I falter even a little bit, your whole life blows up.
Thats not fair to you.
It is very mature and sincere.
Would any of her podcast listeners ever believe she was having this conversation?
Joanne tells Noah something he already knows: He cant have both things.
He cant have her and his dream job, his dream life.
It should be the happiest night of Noahs life.
Word is spreading that hes sure to get the gig and people are congratulating him.
But you might see it all over my mans face: Maybe this isnt the dream anymore.
Maybe something (someone!!)
else has become the dream.
Let me have this!
You know he is going to go to her!!
Joanne takes the shuttle to the parking lot, in tears.
At one point, she thinks he has followed her, but its a rando kid.
Its really over, shes thinking.
But Noah is waiting for her in the parking lot.
NOAH IS WAITING FOR HER IN THE PARKING LOT.
Youre right, he tells her, I cant have both.
And then he takes her and he kisses her and it is so unbelievably good.
Guys, she might get pregnant!
I might get pregnant!
He cant have both and he is choosingher.
Well have to wait and see.
That might be (it definitely is) a weird thing to say, but Im standing by it.
