Episode 1
Where Is Josh's Friend?
Fri, Oct 21, 201643 mins
It's been three weeks since Jayma's wedding, the night when Rebecca and Josh had sex for the first time. Since, Rebecca and Josh have continued a sexual relationship, and Josh has been staying with Rebecca as he has left what was his and Valencia's apartment to her. But things between Rebecca and Josh are not totally all right as after their sexual encounters, Josh spends the rest of the night on Rebecca's sofa, he admitting to himself that staying at Rebecca's is more a move out of necessity as he can't stay with any of his other friends, going home to his parents is an even less desirable option, and he doesn't have the money to live on his own. Although Rebecca tries to convince herself that she was able to talk her way out of the admission to Josh that she moved to West Covina for him, Paula knows that that is the crux of the problem, i.e. the reason Josh feels compelled to sleep on the couch. Although Rebecca told Josh that she and Greg are over as couple, Josh believes Greg is *the* issue standing in their way. Since Jayma's wedding, Josh hasn't heard from Greg, while Rebecca has received only one text telling her that he would be spending a few weeks with his mother on a family emergency. However, Rebecca learns that that is not the case. So Rebecca, with Paula's help, goes on a search for Greg to tell him what is happening between her and Josh so that she and Josh can move on with their lives together. Rebecca may not like what she finds. Meanwhile, Paula's life is going great, especially as she and Scott have reconnected as husband and wife. However, she still gets sucked into Rebecca's craziness. Paula goes on a search of self-discovery to figure out why and what she needs to do for herself to get out of that Rebecca craziness.
Episode 2
When Will Josh See How Cool I Am?
Fri, Oct 28, 201641 mins
Despite Josh unofficially living with her, Rebecca still looks for opportunities to spend time with him, especially as he seems to be doing things with his guy friends doing what are usually considered stereotypical twenty-something guy things. So when Josh says he is spending this upcoming Friday with his friends, Rebecca decides to hound in on the outing, pretending to like doing such guy things, which is the furthest thing from the truth. She takes the lie one step further when she learns the outing is to a new table tennis cocktail bar, ping pong which she claims to once being an expert at. Not wanting to be caught in the lie, Rebecca goes on a crash course to learn the game,... all the while looking hot for Josh while doing it. Meanwhile, Greg believes that the worst is now behind him with his drinking, as he is religiously attending his AA meetings. He doesn't realize however that things that happen in his everyday life may throw his sobriety out the window. Learning of Greg's alcoholism, Josh feels Greg's news throws a wrench into his ability to get the fact that he and Rebecca are sleeping together off his chest. And Paula has discovered that what she needs to do to fill the void that was the craziness of Rebecca's life is to go to law school. She asks Rebecca for one small favor: to write a letter of recommendation for her law school applications, that letter which needs to be submitted by Friday. Despite Paula having moved on in her life from Rebecca's craziness, a question with regard to the letter is if Rebecca has moved on from the craziness herself to do this favor for who is arguably her best friend. In the matter, Darryl quietly battles Rebecca for the position of Paula's BFF.
Episode 3
All Signs Point to Josh... Or Is It Josh's Friend?
Fri, Nov 4, 201639 mins
Because Rebecca is torn between being with Josh and being with Greg, she, in her romanticized view of the world, believes that she should be in a thruple with them. Learning that polyamory is not a default for not being able to choose - especially as she has not cleared anything with either Josh or Greg - she looks for a definitive sign of whether she is destined to be with Josh or Greg, she believing that her destiny is to be with one of the two of them as opposed to any other alternative. This search for the sign is despite the professional advice she receives about the reality of her situation. After receiving what she thinks are a series of small signs pointing her equally in both directions, she receives what she thinks is the definitive sign. The issues are whether it was a sign at all, and even if it was whether signs that others involved in her fantasy receive are compatible with Rebecca's. One of those opposing signs relates to Greg, who is given an opportunity which would both be against what he believes to be the hard and fast rule of avoiding upheaval during his recovery and against being with Rebeca, at least in the short term. Another person who receives what she believes is a sign is Paula, that sign having to do with being out of sync with Rebecca.

How to go about that rebranding surprises those that know her, with the question still remaining if that rebranding will achieve what Rebecca wants.

Meanwhile, Paula has decided not to tell Rebecca about her pregnancy if only in not wanting to burden her best friend while she is going through this crisis concerning her feelings for Josh and Greg. While Scott tries to show Paula that she can have her cake and eat it too (the two items being have another baby AND go to law school), it is a professional meeting that she takes for Rebecca that may truly show Paula where her heart lies at this point in her life.

Meanwhile, Josh is feeling a bit lost himself without a significant other in his life. He will have to find something or someone meaningful in which to channel his thoughts. Darryl sees a bit of White Josh's history at Electric Mesa, a history with which he may have some problem dealing in his professed love for White Josh. And Paula has just started law school.

However, in Rebecca's mind, Paula is the missing gurl, she who Rebecca tries to bring into the fold by inviting her, Valencia and Heather to a themed party at the house, without telling Paula that it will not just be the two of them for the evening, without telling Valencia and Heather that she invited Paula, and without telling any of the three that the party has this special theme. Beyond the as so far unspoken issues between Rebecca and Paula potentially coming to the surface, one unexpected occurrence after another colors the nature of the party. Meanwhile, Darryl and Maya, between who there has been unspoken tension, make a connection over a point of commonality. And Trent Maddock, who has been laying low out of Rebecca's life for the past few months, decides on an indirect approach to get back into Rebecca's life as her boyfriend.

She sees the wedding and associated marriage as the answer to all her problems. Valencia has taken over and thus freed Rebecca from the planning. Both Rebecca's parents are in West Covina, her father's presence in particular which she believes is the beginning of a new relationship between the two of them, and in the process negating the fact that he not only abandoned her when she was a child but purposefully has remained out of her life until now. And most importantly she is marrying Josh, the man for who she moved to West Covina, with the ceremony to take place at the core of West Covina identity: next to the beach. Some of those that know Rebecca and Josh hope that they can overcome their individual issues to make the marriage a success, while others foresee disaster as two people who are not ready to marry, to each other or to anyone else. There are two men however that may factor into the proceedings. One known is Nathaniel, who is the reason Rebecca rushed the wedding date. The other is Trent, who Rebecca doesn't know is lurking on the sidelines. But a dissociative statement Rebecca makes in front of Josh makes Josh feel like he has to find out the root source of that statement before the wedding. Josh may have to decide what to do with the information if he does discover it, or whether to go through with the wedding if he doesn't find out. Meanwhile, the wedding leads to a discussion between Darryl and White Josh about their future.
