Charles Brooks is reeling.
He cant take his eyes off the file Edward L.L.
Moore handed over containing Lizas deep dark secret:She was a soccer coach.
There are certificates and marriage announcements to prove it all.
In the office, Charles cant stop looking her over.
Uh, no duh, UpChuck.
What a fool in love, you are.
Speaking of fools in love, lets quickly mention the Josh drama of the episode.
Later, Liza finds Josh alone in his apartment, crying in the dark.
Crying Alone in the Dark is the saddest, and also a possible title for my memior.
Clare isnt coming anymore.
It all fell apart.
Will Liza and Josh even talk about their pre-wedding makeout sesh?
Charles isnt sure what to do with the discovery of Lizas deception.
(Shockingly, I did not attend business school.)
He spills everything and decides he needs to fire her.
Its the only way.
Those optics are real bad and after L.L.
Moore, Empirical cant afford another scandal.
Bobs advice is to pretend like everythings normal and avoid her as much as possible.
The tactic proves difficult because Charles is terrible at pretending and Liza is very excited about some big news.
Queen Reese Witherspoon has selectedMarriage Vacationas the next book for her book club.
It is a huge win for all involved it basically guarantees huge sales numbers.
After the meeting, Liza doubles back with a proposal for the company.
It would be a huge partnership.
Wed all benefit from this, is what Im saying.
Moore so bad that payroll will be delayed.
A deal with Reese Witherspoon could save the company.
You know what it seems like everyone needs right now?
Ah yes, that pesky word pretend.
Add pretending to be excited for his sort-of-wife to the list of things eating away at Charless soul.
Otherwise, the vacation-themed party isnt so bad.
She makes her undying loyalty to Empirical known; shell sell her apartment before she leaves the company.
And Diana really loves that apartment, so thats a big deal.
He makes an announcement: The content incubator with Hello Sunshine is on.
Its a surprise to everyone, but a very welcome one.
With such great news, youd think the good vibes would carry well into the rest of the evening.
All her dreams are coming true!
Well, until Charles crushes them.
He isnt in love with Pauline and he cant keep pretending.
Its really over and there will be no reconciling.
Talk about killing the mood.
Its good for the company, after all.
Oh, okay Charles.
Like the handsome tree of a man he is, Charles is throwing some serious shade.
Its Trout Season
Other characters meeting the legend that is Diana Trout is always a delight.
This time its Lauren, whos a big fan of everything shes doing.
Oh like do, diva.
Lets get serious for a sec: How wonderful is Dianas loyalty to Charles?
She doesnt bat a long, glorious eyelash when she learns she might not be getting paid on time.
Trout deserves some big victories in season five.
You guys: That.
