Beverly ducks out of the lunch and persuades Matt to take her to a Golden Globes gifting suite, as he had promised. Giddy by all the free swag around her, Bev declares: "It's like when The Wizard of Oz turns to colour!"

Meanwhile, at the lunch Tim reveals to Sean that he's not just there for a catch up between old friends. He comes armed with notes for a project he and Sean developed years ago: a comedy that shares a strong similarity to Sean and Beverly's new show, The Opposite of Us.

While carting Beverly around the gifting suite, Matt gets an angry call from his ex-wife Diane. She's just found out that he's been teaching their young sons how to draw pictures of the female anatomy. Matt comes over to her house armed with gifting suite loot in the hopes of winning Diane's forgiveness.

Over at the network, Merc Lapidus is pitching a new game show to Helen and Carol. The show is based on a Dutch format, and Merc has only the vaguest understanding of the rules.
