True Whitaker as Alani, Rachel Sennott as Maia, and Odessa A’zion as Tallulah

However, when Dylan sees Maia call Charlie in a panic about work, he realizes that he will never be her priority, and the next time we see him, he’s ignoring Maia’s call and waking up in his fellow teacher Claire’s bed, about to have the low-key Saturday he’s always dreamed of.

Dylan is sus for this. Maia is on a work trip, why shouldn’t she call Charlie? She already broke their 7 days no contact once, is she supposed to magically know Dylan wants her to break it again? He could’ve called her. And actually, she does call him, but not only does he ignore her, he’s in bed with someone else. Boooo Dylan. Tomato tomato.

Does Maia sleep with Ben?

In episode 6, Maia ran into her hot, older, definitely toxic (and married) ex-boss, Ben (Colin Woodell), and fantasized about having sex with him, which he implied could happen when she came to New York. In the finale, Maia sees Ben again at a restaurant, and he gives her use of his credit card and promises to come by her hotel the next day to pick it up (and for sex). This being her “break” from Dylan, Maia is eager to make it happen.

Dressed in one of Tallulah’s outfits, Maia greets Ben eagerly, but he only wants to watch her masturbate using his spit, a power play. Then he makes her a job offer for $380,000; the offer is real, but comes with strings attached. Ben enjoys having control over Maia, and she tells Charlie she’s not comfortable working for that kind of man, but feels weird turning down the money and the opportunities that a big company would bring her client Tallulah (Odessa A’zion). (While quitting her job in the previous episode, Maia did say she would “always” do what’s best for her client.) Charlie advises her to lie to Tallulah about the job, which Maia does, claiming she turned it down because Ben wouldn’t let her keep Tallulah as a client.
