Last season on "The Arrangement"...
Hello?
You've only got two hours
until you read with Kyle West!
The whole world wants to work with Kyle West.
He could do whatever he wants.
I'm going to Oslo.
It's the only way to stop this.
What makes you think that you can stop it?
You are amazing!
He's offering you a contract marriage.
So you want me to play the girl on your arm.
What's your big secret?
I never thought Lisbeth would just bail
on me at our wedding.
Did she ever explain herself?
Something about getting lost in my world.
Any time my life has ever gotten too big,
Terence has always been there to help.
I cannot do what you're asking me to do.
I will end you in a heartbeat.
It's time for me to face the consequences
for what I did, and I am so sorry.
Please stop!
I love you.
I just can't stop thinking about
the way she looked at me.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Two months from now, you are going to be prepping
to direct "Technicolor Highway"
with Megan as your leading lady, and your fiancé.
Megan had some big breakthroughs.
- Thank you. - She's not 100% there yet.
Keep an eye on her. Make sure things stay on track.
I went through hell to get back to Kyle
and become part of the Institute.
And now I'm here, and I need you
'cause I'm gonna burn the whole thing down.
Hey, beautiful.
Kyle, no!
It's our moment.
No!
But tonight is extra special.
Because we are here to celebrate the engagement
of two people I care about deeply...
The shining lights of this family.
And the beautiful wedding
that we are all gonna be part of.
To Kyle and Megan.
Help me!
The design concept will incorporate the ten colors
on the IHM life spectrum into the service...
...And my color is purple, which means
I'll be your point person for family planning.
...Into the ceremony,
so dresses, flowers, napkins,
everything infused with the spirit of the Higher Mind.
Please!
As we get closer to the wedding,
if you have any questions, or you want to just grab a coffee
talk about fertility or prenatal regimens...
Okay, Sally, let's slow that roll.
Of course.
In this moment and every moment that follows,
we renew our affirmation of life as a living thing.
And as always...
We build our column together.

Azhan designed Stevie Jagger's wedding dress.
And weren't you the Sultan of Brunei's
personal dressmaker for two years?
You made dresses for the harem?
Don't remind me.
But I am very excited for this dress.
You are gonna be stunning.
- First fitting tomorrow. - It's amazing!
- It's all happening, isn't it? - Thank you.
I know where I'm going.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Leslie, what are you doing here?
Well, one thing I'm doing is making it work
with the dress I wore to the Independent Spirit Awards
in 2014.
We have got to get you nominated for something.
Hi, Terence.
Well, you weren't invited.
How did you know about this?
Because I know how to find things out, Megan.
Because I'm a good agent.
Stop by the office tomorrow afternoon,
and I will have that information
you were looking for, since you don't like
to return phone calls anymore.
There he is, the luckiest man in Hollywood.
Don't I know it?
Listen, I just stopped by to say congratulations
and to give you this re-gifted bottle of Cristal.
Oh, we'll send you a leftover mimosa.
Leslie, how nice of you to crash.
We have some business to discuss.
Then this is good timing,
since I'm sure it involves my client.
Jason and Vic have a thought on the script.
Um, they'd like to meet on Saturday.
They have a thought.
It's nothing major, they just want
to see your character beefed up a little.
Should we not get Ann Toren in on this?
The writer? She's out of the country.
Uh, who are Jason and Vic?
The financiers.
- We'll be there Saturday, right? - Yeah.
Did they actually use the words "beefed up"?
We're finished here, yes?
They're ready for the walk out to the car.
Okay, big smiles, very in love, very romantic.
The headline is "Hollywood's It Couple
Having the Time of Their Lives."
So obviously, it's all very hush-hush,
but let's have a little fun and predict what we think
the Kygan wedding will be like.
Okay, I mean it's Kygan, so it's gonna be
on some private island somewhere in the no-fly zone.
- You know what? - My psychic actually told me
that it's going to be very small and very intimate,
and also that I won't be invited.
Getting some ideas?
I'm just unwinding my brain.
Or destroying it.
Well, do you wish we were planning it ourselves?
The contract is pretty clear
that IHM plans the wedding, so...
That's not what I'm asking.
It was never really on the table.
Plus, we're making the movie,
and if we need to be married before it's released,
we don't even have time to...
Okay, I get it.
Let's just say for a second that there's no contract,
no publicity timeline,
how would you do it?
I don't know.
I always figured that my wedding
would be in someone's backyard in Brooklyn.
With candles hanging in little mason jars.
And now, I'm marrying one of the biggest
movie stars in the world.
I'm sure all of your people are incredibly talented.
- Mm-hmm. - They're our people.
And we could do mason jars.
I just want you to be happy.
I am happy.
Wait.
I can't. I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
I have my period.
Oh, okay. Uh...
Is it bad that I don't care?
What's bad are these cramps I'm having all night.
It's really uncomfortable.
Well, why didn't you say something?
Well, I was trying to ignore them.
Can we just snuggle?
Yeah.
Everybody crashes a bit after the high of the intro workshop.
I know I did.
You have all of these exciting new tools,
but you don't know how to put them to use.
- Exactly. - That's exactly how I feel!
There's Mike. He is amazing,
and he will talk seminar ideas with you for days.
Okay, bye!
Can I interest you in a reflection break?
You can.
Megan!
Did you have a good time last night?
Yeah, it... it was wonderful!
Great.
Look, I can't just walk into his glass office
and start poking around.
Okay, but you are IHM's lawyer.
That has to give you some sort of access.
Not as much as you think.
Terence is extremely careful.
I'm looking for vulnerabilities,
but if he gets suspicious...
I know what could happen. Believe me.
I think about it every day.
Right, so burning this place
down is gonna take time,
and patience.
I want to help, but I can't be your point person.
I have to do my job.
I'm not asking you to be the point person.
I'm doing my own thing.
Which is what?
I'm gonna talk to Lisbeth,
and find out what Terence put her through.
Hopefully it's horrible and damaging.
But I thought Lisbeth didn't want to talk to you.
And she's in rehab anyway, right?
According to Leslie, that's just a payback rumor
for firing her publicist.
You told Leslie what you're doing?
Well, I just asked her to help me track down Lisbeth.
She's my agent. She works for me.
Asking around about Kyle's ex.
You don't think that's a red flag?
I have to take some sort of risks, Shaun, okay?
I'm faking my way through my life right now.
And I'm sure Kyle senses it.
It's not sustainable.
And I don't even have the space
to understand how I feel about him.
How do you love someone who did what he did?
Maybe he really didn't have a choice, like he said.
I want to believe that.
I want to believe that Kyle
would never let someone hurt me.
But everybody has a choice.
Always.
Including you.
Either you forgive Kyle,
and do what you need to do to save the relationship, or...
Or I don't.
And he goes down with everything else.
So I don't have any news about Lisbeth yet.
Are you kidding me?
I do, however, have some exciting things
to tell you about your career.
Leslie!
You made it seem like you had information, okay?
- This isn't cool. - What isn't cool?
The producer meetings that I set for you at Fountain Rock
and Amazon Studios for next week?
The 20 scripts I read for you over the weekend
while the baby chewed my nipple off?
Gay spies in Paris. How cool is that?
How about setting up your own production company?
How about breaking my back to make sure you have a job
after "Technicolor Highway" ends?
It's all amazing, okay?
But you totally misled me,
and I need to be able to trust you.
To trust me!
Megan, are they asking you to drop me?
- What? No! - You're a shitty liar.
No, Terence, DeAnn, and Kyle,
nobody's said a word to me about you.
Of course not, because you act like I don't even exist!
You know, the last time you were remotely straight with me,
you were begging for $5 million!
Look, I don't know how Terence made your problem go away,
I don't care, and if you have to be one of his acolytes
as part of that deal, that's fine with me!
But do not let that man mess with your gift!
- So you're my gift now? Okay. - No, your acting is your gift.
But if you don't put it in the hands
of somebody who actually cares about you,
then you're just pissing it away!
You can be an A-list actor
or you can be an A-list adjacent girlfriend,
- that is your choice. - I know!
You're my agent, and I can't do any of this without you.
Believe me, I know that.
But you are not my girlfriend, okay?
I pay you 10% so I don't have to return your calls
or tell you what's going on in my life.
Lisbeth is taking meditation classes
at Audio Bath Collective.
Usually at night.
I had one of the assistants stalk her eyebrow person.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
And I'm... I'm really excited about gay spies in Paris.
Megan, you had me at, "You're my agent."
Audio Bath. How may I help?
Hi, I'm trying to make an appointment
for my boss for tonight's class.
Is there still space?
We have a few spots left. What's the name?
Graves, Lisbeth.
Um, we already have Lisbeth down for tonight.
Oh, never mind. I'm the new assistant.
I'm still getting my signals crossed.
No problem at all.
Maybe you should come in for a class.
Maybe I will.
There's the bride to be!
Late, as always, better than never.
I am so sorry. There was a horrible accident
on the PCH and my phone died.
Well, let's just give you a little something
to turn things around!
You forgot about the fitting didn't you?
Yes, I did.
These just came from Kyle.
Oh!
_
Megan!
Come take a look at your dress.
The elegance of tradition,
and the beauty of forward thought.
And this is just the beginning.
Probably should've told you that this would all be part of
the wedding exclusive for "People."
Guys, maybe just a touch more room?
It's beautiful.
You are a dangerous man.
- Another round? - No.
I can't really get motivated if there's no actual threat.
Oh.
Screw the money. Let's shoot at each other.
Why don't you hop out there?
Are you kidding me? The last thing I need
is your blood on my hands.
At least you got confidence.
I'm Terence Anderson, son.
Besides, life is better with us on the same side of things,
don't you agree?
It's definitely easier.
What? That's it? Come on.
Still bumps in the road, my friend.
Like what? Problems with Megan?
No.
My problem is guys that have never made a movie before
asking me for script changes.
Yeah, well, money talks.
Yeah, well, money should shut the hell up.
Look, "Technicolor Highway" is not gonna suffer
from a little more Kyle West, then it's asses in the seats,
and that's good for everybody.
Asses are gonna be in the seats
because it's gonna be a great movie.
Not because I'm in it.
I know how personal this story is for you, Kyle.
And that's... that's fine.
And art is therapy. I get it, but...
Art is redemption, buddy.
So you think if you make a great movie
you're gonna be able to forgive yourself for you past?
Is that it?
With this movie, maybe.
Did you notice how energized everyone was
at dinner the other night?
Everyone at IHM? Hmm?
You know why? Because of you.
Because you're back in the fold.
Kyle, your presence inspires people,
so you want redemption? Harness that!
In the movie, and otherwise.
Otherwise?
IHM needs to grow.
People shouldn't come from all over the country
to do the work.
Within the next five years, you and I should make sure
we are in everybody's backyard.
Yeah, well, I'm not looking past the next five months.
Make the movie, marry Megan.
It's as simple as that.
Why exactly does IHM need to grow?
' Cause if you're not growing, you're dying.
_
So what do we think?
It's gorgeous!
She was made to wear this dress.
The question is what does she think?
I don't know what to think right now.
I have something for you.
What is that?
This was my mother's.
She wore it at her wedding,
and she gave it to me to wear at mine,
and if you're willing, I'd like to give it to you.
Of course.
It's beautiful.
DeAnn, thank you.
You're welcome.
You look beautiful.
We should just get married here.
In the house?
I'm just picturing you coming down that staircase
in a wedding dress, and I am getting all the feels.
You're sweet.
And thanks for the flowers. They're beautiful.
Of course.
How was the fitting?
Azhan's supposed to be a genius.
Yeah, he's amazing.
The dress is gorgeous.
Good.
You headed to yoga?
Meditation.
Actually, I have to hustle.
Meditation sounds amazing.
Maybe I'll go. Do you mind?
Just pulling my hair out with all these script changes.
Maybe we can talk on the way.
It's a women's class, actually.
Women only.
Perfect.
Who wants to meditate with a bunch of dudes?
Look, you're the only one that gets this thing like I do.
We'll talk when I get back.
All right, I don't want to be late.
Now, we begin the process of letting go.
Let go of your day.
Let go of your goals.
Let go of the need to do this right.
Let go and the sound will take you
wherever you're supposed to go.
No, completely understandable,
but just so I'm clear, there's nothing inherently problematic
about the First Life program, it's just that you...
Precedent.
Right.
Nope, understood.
Oh, no, thank you.
I will check back in a few weeks, like you said.
All right. Bye-bye.
Hey, I know you.
Hey.
How are you doing?
Great! How are you?
I'm well.
"Well." Well, that's proper English.
Yeah, I-I was just gonna go.
So thank you.
Um...
Oh, okay.
Great to see you.
Yeah, good to see you too.
You know, that...
That was like watching little animals get tortured.
I'm sure it was.
Yeah, ever since we... ended things,
I don't know what to say to him exactly.
Oh, don't worry.
You're being very clear.
Okay.
And at least now I know why he's been pushing so hard
to go work at the Facility.
He's running.
Oh.
So you came to see me?
Right.
I just got off the phone with Scholastic Associates.
They're hedging.
We are talking about revolutionizing
childhood education.
What the hell's their problem? Money?
I don't think so.
They say they like the First Life Initiative,
but they've never partnered with an organization
so regional in nature.
That's just code
for California hippie dippie bullshit.
Do you want to reach out to them yourself?
You might have more luck.
No, this isn't about me.
We need a breakthrough.
_
It's okay.
Just breathe.
You're here now.
You're safe.
Just breathe.
Okay, this is a completely safe space.
You just need to keep breathing
and listening.
Namaste.
How you doing?
Oh, excuse me.
Shit.
Why are you following me?
- Jesus. - Answer me!
I am so sorry, I just... I really want to talk to you.
Yeah, I was very clear with you.
I know, but a lot has happened since Venice.
Oh, you think so?
Wait until Kyle and Terence find out you're doing this!
See what happens then!
Look, you said you love him,
and I just want to know why you left.
Was it Terence?
Did he force you?
Yeah, I know what you're trying to do.
I can't help you.
You can't separate them. It's impossible.
Why? Why would you say that?
Just leave me alone.
Just, please, what did he do to you?
I'm so sorry.
I just really want to talk to you!
Okay, your energy is really dark and destructive.
Stay away from me!
The problem is there's no obvious way to make the changes
they're asking for.
You know where creative blocks come from.
Old ideas you can't let go of.
I know the academics.
I need a tool.
Here's a tool.
Put down the script for an hour,
and write a speech for the Sunday gathering.
This Sunday?
You know I'm not going, let alone speaking.
Well, you can lose that argument later.
Write a speech now, as an exercise.
My plate is full enough, Terence.
Really? Are you getting any of it done?
Trust me, Kyle.
Write from the heart. It'll open your mind.
What are you eating?
Banana bread and chocolate chip.
Wait, who made you banana bread, you bastard?
Mind your own business.
Save me some.
Write the speech.
I gotta go.
How was meditation with the ladies?
Good.
You want to talk about the script now?
No.
I want to know how you're feeling first.
About the script?
About me.
You're the love of my life.
Why would you ask me that?
Because six months ago, we signed a contract,
and we barely knew each other.
Now we're planning a wedding, making a movie,
and everything's coming at us a million miles an hour.
So I look to you,
'cause I think you got to be feeling the same way, but...
I just feel like you're not there.
I'm here.
Okay, I'm right here.
And I'm sorry if I've been distracted lately.
You're right.
There's a lot going on.
Is it just distraction?
I mean what about what you had to go through?
Well, it's no more than what you've been through.
Megan, look, I asked to go to the Facility.
You didn't.
And I know you said it was all for the best,
but it would be normal for you to have feelings
about how it all went down.
Like anger towards me.
The feelings I have...
are gratitude.
And love.
No, Kyle! Please, no!
You knew about this!
Hey!
I love you.
Hello.
Oh, my God.
Here, let me help you with that.
You're home early.
Yes, well traffic was light.
I'm going to go.
She seems smart for 23.
22, actually.
How was your chat with Kyle?
Kyle's blocked. I told him to take a break.
And just let the script rewrite itself?
No. Let it marinate while he writes a speech
for the Sunday gathering.
You think the script is gonna marinate?
You would do well to be a little bit more discreet.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You don't think Kyle has a future as a director.
Maybe he doesn't, but he's emotionally attached
to this movie.
So if you want to hold on
to the institute's cash cow,
you might want to at least act like you care.
Sorry about the tie on the door.
No, you're not.
No, I'm not. It's what's bothering you, though.
_
So Kyle has been thinking of ways
to address your concerns,
and I think he's come up with some really interesting ideas
for increasing Hooper's presence in the movie.
And just to be clear, we love Clyde.
We don't want to change her.
Yeah, and one of the things we love about Clyde
- is that her name is Clyde. - Awesome.
You're just embarrassing yourself
'cause I'm going in anyway.
Sorry, sorry, you know how
it is with sitters on a Saturday.
Who is this?
This is my agent, Leslie Bellcamp.
Hi.
Just staying up to speed so I can best represent my client.
This is very exciting.
- Uh, Kyle, uh, you were... - Yes, um...
I've been doing some thinking, as DeAnn said,
and instead of trying to force actual new scenes
for Hooper within the story,
I've got some interesting ideas on how to use the camera
to give the character more presence.
Technical ideas.
Um...
I was going over the script last night, and um...
Something occurred to me.
Kyle, do you mind if I make a pitch?
No, no, go right ahead.
It's the final sequence.
Where Clyde sees the Northern Lights.
And walks into the lake.
But instead of Hooper sleeping through it...
He wakes up with an instinct.
Clyde?
Clyde!
Clyde, no!
Clyde!
- Hooper, don't! - No!
Don't!
Listen to me, listen to me.
I didn't think I had anything to live for either.
Until I met you!
R... Yes, thank you.
I-It's emotional!
Exactly.
It's a hero moment.
- A hero moment! - Right.
That's exactly what was missing!
Right now, the ending is depressing.
What is she doing in the lake?
- Killing herself? - Yes!
It's ambiguous. You're not supposed to know.
I'd rather know. His way I know.
Well, ultimately, it has to be the director's way.
Kyle, what do you think?
Um, it's definitely interesting.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Who doesn't love a hero moment?
Nice.
Megan! Megan, wait!
Just, excuse me.
This bullshit idea is going to ruin the movie.
- You need to say something. - I can't.
You have to, or I will...
Leslie, do not say anything.
Okay? You shouldn't even be here.
Screw that.
He saves her? Really?
You must have burned the midnight oil
for that one, Terence.
Leslie, we can discuss this at another time.
Sure, how about when the critics shit all over it?
Look, you can't spend an entire movie following a character
and then just take away her ability to choose at the end!
We are adding, we are not taking away,
it's gonna be great.
And frankly, you're acting a little hysterical.
It's going to be a trope!
You're a misogynistic idiot and that's why you and Vic here
think it's so great!
I am Vic.
- Yes, you are. - Leslie, stop!
Please stop.
Fine, I'm leaving.
See you at the People's Choice Awards.
Don't freak out. This is a long game.
I am so sorry.
That was completely inappropriate
and wrong, and she owes everybody here an apology.
I think we'd all just be happy
if we never had to see her again.
Let's go grab something to drink, shall we?
You ready to go?
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom.
Oh, my God.
Megan!
What was going on?
Are you okay?
- My stomach... - What's the matter?
Are you hurt?
I'm gonna call somebody.
No, no, don't. I'm fine.
Megan, if something's wrong with you,
I just... I want to get you help.
Lisbeth was right.
I'll never be able to separate them.
What should I have Jill make you for lunch?
I'll eat later.
I think I'm gonna go for a run.
I could still have her make you something
for when you get back.
No, thanks. I'm good.
Okay, I'm just gonna start on the script changes.
I can't do this anymore.
What's that?
Why did you let them ruin it?
Ruin what?
We both fell in love with the story.
And we were gonna tell it together.
Why would you put it in someone else's hands?
They don't care about quality.
They definitely don't respect you as a director.
All they care about
is face time and bankability.
And this movie is going to be a disaster,
because you can't think for yourself.
Thank you.
- I've been waiting for that. - What?
Hooper pulls Clyde out of the lake.
Are you kidding me?
We're not doing that shit.
You don't like it?
Then why didn't you say anything at IHM?
Because I wanted to see if you would say something.
So you were testing me?
You're an asshole.
No, I'm not the asshole!
I had a reason to say nothing, what's your excuse?
Who am I to say anything?
You're Kyle West, you're the center of their universe!
And I cannot do this without you!
Come on, Megan, please. Stop lying, okay?
You walk around like everything is great, and it is not!
The "I love yous," the sex,
I have no idea what that was last night.
It is all bullshit, because for some reason,
you cannot tell me the truth!
I sold you out to Terence,
I got you dragged off to the Facility.
And I don't care what good came from that,
if you're not mad at me for that,
then I have no idea who the hell you are.
Please.
Just tell me the truth.
Because if you don't,
I cannot figure out a way to make it better,
and I need to make it better.
The truth...
Is that I am in a perfect relationship
with a generous, loving,
smart, funny man,
and we're really connected
until something important happens
and his world, and everyone else in it takes over,
and he turns his back on me and breaks my heart.
So if I'm not present,
it's because I'm bracing myself
for the next one.
There's not gonna be a next one.
I know you mean that.
That's the whole point, right?
Neither of us can be sure.
And until we can, this is just talk.
Well, well, twice in one week.
Yeah, well, when it rains, it pours, I guess.
Okay.
Okay, I think we can all live without that hero moment
if you really don't like it,
but I do think we should probably write a scene for you.
Yeah, you... you gotta give us something.
I'm gonna give you the movie that I've been dreaming about.
It doesn't need more Hooper or me.
Look, we hear you, but the reality of the situation is
that you are the face of this thing, and...
- No. No, I'm not. - Megan is.
This is your lead actor.
This is your star.
I'm not gonna actually act in the movie at all.
- Is that a joke? - No.
No, I'm gonna put my focus where I think it needs to be,
and that's directing.
Kyle, there are agreements already in place.
Bankable talent being first and foremost,
we will pull the financing.
Well, if you want to live with regret
for the rest of your lives, it's your choice.
I've got plenty of my own money.
Here.
Don't worry.
What the hell did you just do?
If I'm in the movie, it's a Kyle West vehicle,
but if I just direct, then it becomes ours again.
It needs to be ours.
Everything does.
What's up, guys? I'm Kyle.
It is so great to see you all here.
I have to be honest.
When Terence asked me to speak today, I said no.
I'm in the middle of a very complicated
and amazing project, and I just didn't have the time.
But of course, I kept thinking about it.
And actually, what I was thinking about was us
and what we all have in common.
We all want to be healthy and happy.
Apparently, James is going to work up at the Facility.
Can he take you there?
If we know where it is, we can expose it.
I have some fences to mend first,
but I'm working on it.
But what makes the IHM community so special
is our desire for something more.
And that's greatness.
It's why we're all here.
We all want to realize the greatest version of ourselves.
That's when you can accomplish unimaginable things.
It's what makes the desire to be great so powerful.
And let's not be afraid to admit it.
Let's all say it together.
I am gonna be great.
Let's put it on its feet, guys! Let's go!
Come on! I am gonna be great!
I am gonna be great!
One last time, real big, I am gonna be great!
I am gonna be great!
Yes, you are!
You're smiling.
Today I am.
Tomorrow will probably be a completely different story.
You will be great!
Thank you very much.

A year was hard enough,
these last two days have just been killing me.
I will make up for it, every minute we've waited.
I promise.
