[Brett] Holy sh*t, it's...

-[Brett] Yeah.

[Jason] I'm turning it off.
It's just gonna be natural temperature.

Uh. [gasps]

There goes my... Wait!

-I am falling apart! What is happening?
-[Emma] I got you! Okay.

-Wait. I think it broke.
-[laughs] No, f*ck no!

They're brand-new!

Wait, we need pliers.

-Do we have pliers?
-[Brett] We might somewhere.

-Designers need to make them more sturdy.
-[Emma] I have them!

Who has pliers?

I'm a little concerned.

If real estate doesn't work, be a cobbler.

-[Emma] I fixed it!
-Good job, girl! Thank you.

Hello! I just fixed her shoe!
Thank you! With pliers and nails!

We have a group cobbler, Emma Hernan.

I'd be a good contractor. Make dad proud.

-[Brett] What's up, Chels?
-Oh, hello!

-[Chelsea] Emmy!
-How are ya, hon?

-Hi, sweetie! How are ya?
-[Chelsea] I'm good, honey.

I love those chopsticks!

-[Emma] In case you need a Kn*fe today.
-Thank you!

No, this... We call this a shank in the UK.

-A shank. Okay.
-I thought shanks were just in prison.

That's a high-end shank.
That's a luxury shank.

[Emma] Actually, funny enough,
we found it at Bre's desk.

[laughter]

[pop-rock music plays]

-Good morning, ladies!
-[Emma] Good morning!

-[Mary] Hi!
-[Emma] I love your hair!

[pop-rock music ends]

Okay, so I have some news, guys.

-What?
-Heather had the baby.

No way! Oh my God!

Yay!

-Yeah, she's on cloud nine.
-[Emma] Oh my God!

She texted me in the middle of the night,
like, "Help me!"

Oh, I'm so happy for her.

[Heather] Tristan J. El Moussa.

You were a rock star. I'm so proud of you.

-I love you, babe.
-And you are just so handsome!

As much as I hate interrupting
the baby talk, let's do some real estate.

-Do you hate that, though?
-No, I don't hate that.

We should do some updates.
Emma, what's goin' on?

I sold Micah's property.
We just closed today on Hillside.

Quarter million dollars over-asked,
in multiples.

-Thank you.
-[Mary] Good job!

Ring that bell! Can I walk up with you,
please? So I feel like I won too?

She's my assistant for the bell ring.
Okay, I'll go down.

Whoo! I even made it ring!

It's still ringing.

[Emma] It was so important
for me to sell Micah's Hillside property

before the mansion tax goes into effect.

I saved Micah over $200,000,
and now we just need to sell Lloydcrest.

I think selling Hillside in multiples

really showed Micah that when you price
a property aggressively, they sell fast.

So he did agree,
after a little persuasion,

to the $6 million price reduction
on Lloydcrest.

So I'm so happy, and I'm hoping
that it sells before April 1st.

It's now well priced.

[Brett] Probably the biggest reduction
we've ever gotten.

-I'm very persuasive.
-Yeah. [laughs]

This is the part of the team meeting
you're gonna love,

and that's where we hand out
some listings today.

Mary, Emma, Nicole,
I know you're very busy.

So the first one is going to Chrishell,
who's not here.

It's a property on Queens Road,


But she won't be able to work on this
for a week or two while she's in recovery.

So, Nicole, I'm actually gonna ask you
to step in, please, and help out.

I need someone
to manage getting the property ready.

It needs to be painted,
cleaned, staged, that type of thing.

I don't like this. Feels like a setup.

I will do this to help you, Jason,

but this is not a situation
that I wanna be in.

I understand the dynamics going on,
I'm not an idiot,

but I want Chrishell to be able to step in
and have everything ready,

and maybe it'll help mend
some issues between you guys.

-Because it worked well last time?
-[Bre] Hm.

If I were Nicole,
I would say, "f*ck you, Jason."

Who'll make the commission
if it's Chrishell and yours listing?

Chrishell will make the commission,
but we'll talk about it.

-It can't get worse.
-I know what you're all thinking, but...

I'm sorry. I tried to hold it in.

But Nicole is particularly well-suited
to do this type of work.

[Jason] My brokerage.

I'll be making those decisions.
I think that's what's best for the client.

Chelsea, I think that
it's been obvious to everyone here

that since you started,
you've kicked a lot of ass,

making a lot of money for the brokerage,
closing a lot of deals.

You're clearly hustling.

So we'll give you an opportunity
and bring you on

a $10 million listing
on Mulholland we just got.

[squeals]

[Mary] Good job!

[Chelsea] Thank you so much, guys.

I promise you I won't let you down,
and, ladies, take note.

Bre, we know that you have great clients,
and we believe in you wholeheartedly,

but you've had somewhat of a slow start.

We think this will jump-start you.

We have a $5.5 million,
very sexy contemporary on Hillside.

Rooftop pool, views of the city.

It'll give you the confidence you need,
so that listing is now yours.

[laughs] Oh my God! Please, can we take
a picture of Bre's face!

[Bre] Obviously,
out of anyone in the office,

I think that at my price point,

I should get
the $10 million listing over Chelsea.

But that's okay.
I'm fine. I'm not offended at all.

-Wait...
-Is there tequila in this office?

Three new listings.
We'll be counting on you.

Chelsea, Bre, Nicole,
you have to perform on these new listings.

There's a lot of pressure on us now,
financially, more than usual,

so we really need you guys
to start kicking some ass.

-Hi!
-Hi!

I brought Benny!

[Chrishell] Hi, Ba-Ba!

-Hi.
-Hi. Oh...

-How are you?
-I'm good.

-I'm gonna put these here.
-Thank you! Those are so pretty.

-Are you sore?
-I'm sore.

I have stitches that come out on Friday.

This here and then there's two more here.

But luckily, everything went as good
as it could go on the inside.

[Emma] That's amazing.

-Hello!
-Hey!

[Emma] I hear Chelsea's heels!

-Oh my gosh, what is all this?
-What is happening?

-Hi!
-[Chrishell] Hi, gorgeous!

-How are you?
-[Chrishell] I'm good!

-[Emma] There's a cooler!
-[Chelsea] I'm not moving in.

I'm making Vietnamese dumplings,
vegetable dumplings,

shrimp dumplings, and meat dumplings.

Oh my God!

-[Emma] She's like a chef!
-[Chelsea] Let's go.

It's such a relief that the surgery,
you know, was a complete success.

All the things that they were worried
could go wrong, didn't.

It's been a real weight
lifted off my chest.

So now, you know, I'm just gonna be
focused on recovery and getting better.

And put this behind me.

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
You guys are so cute.

-This is the size of my cyst!
-[Chelsea] It is?

They said it was the size of a grapefruit.

-[Emma] Oh my God.
-Oh my gosh!

-But it wasn't cancerous.
-[Emma] Thank goodness.

-[Chrishell] There's no stress.
-Good.

So I have to get the update from you guys.
What's going on?

I did have a talk with Amanza
about her stirring the pot

and telling Bre there are people
in the office she's friends with

that talk about her.

And our conversation didn't end well.

It's one of those things.

She told us the other day
how much she doesn't want drama.

We all need to get over it.

And then to hear this,
I'm just a little surprised.

But I don't think Amanza would do
something to intentionally hurt someone,

but I think that
she would flippantly do something

that would, in turn, hurt someone.

I think Amanza's proven
not to be trustworthy.

Whoever she's with,
she tends to agree with,

and who's not there,
she doesn't agree with.

It's like, you gotta have
a backbone and an opinion.

Stick to it,
and I would respect that more.

I don't know.

And Jason is giving away some listings.

Chelsea got a $10 million listing
from Jason.

-Amazing!
-Yup, on Mulholland Drive.

[Emma] You, Chrishell,
you got a listing on Queens Road.

Oh, well, the reason why he did...

So that was a house I was gonna buy
before I got this one,

so that's why he'd wanna put me on it.

Oh...

That looks like a dildo. Sorry. [laughs]

I'm listening, but I'm distracted
by what you're making.

-[Chelsea] Are you using dildos?
-I'm not allowed!

You don't want this one anyways!

-That's a nightmare! A softie!
-You could do it.

[growls]

What are... Is this really how you make it?

-No, that really is! Yes.
-It is.

-These are the fillings for the dumplings.
-They smell so good.

-Shrimp, veggie, and pork.
-Shrimp, veggie...

Anyway, I am excited
about the Queens listing.

It has the potential to be amazing.

-But Jason says...
-So yeah, there's something to that.

Because, obviously,
you had the surgery and you'll be out,

he enlisted the help of Nicole.

Meaning?

-So...
-[Chelsea] So it's your listing.

-But Nicole is going to be...
-[Emma] Nicole is added on.

...helping while you're on the mend.

I'll need to see the contract

because this is the kind of thing
that happened last time.

It's your listing,

but he'll work out some
type of financial remuneration for her.

I can already see
it'll be a dumpster fire.

I mean, I told you already,
I'm happy to apologize.

I know I took things below the belt,

so it's like, "Okay, I'm ready
to take accountability on my side."

And then all of a sudden,
we start doing some listing

where she's not even on the contract?

-I'm... No.
-[Emma] Yeah, exactly.

Putting them in the same situation
and hoping for a different outcome.

-The definition of insanity.
-[Chrishell] Yeah.

I think he's also trying to use it
as an opportunity to mend.

Exactly. Yeah.
This is the worst-case scenario.

Think she'd be
willing to wipe the slate clean?

Do you think that's a possibility?

Whether or not she takes accountability,
I'm happy to apologize for what I did.

I don't foresee
we'll ever be amazing friends or anything.

No, no, no.

But would it be nice and could we wipe
the slate clean if we both did it? Yeah.

Listen, I don't love Nicole,

but I also don't feel good about
where things went at Chelsea's birthday.

I feel like when I get hurt or triggered,
you know, I can take things too far,

and I hate that feeling of regret.

So I know if I can just apologize,
it would make me feel better.

Hopefully, it'll make her feel better,

but I know it will definitely
just ease things at the office.

-[Chelsea] Okay. So, dinner is served!
-[Emma] There you go!

-Would you like a dumpling?
-[Chrishell] I would love one.

[Emma] Be careful, they are hot.

Oh, this is so cute.

-You did so amazing. So cute.
-A dumpling cheers!

Cheers to Chrishell coming out
of a nice surgery.

-Safe and sound!
-You guys are very sweet.

It's hot!

Whoo!

[Chelsea] It's hot!

-Bad!
-You were hungry!

-Good. My name's Cat.
-Amanza.

-Welcome.
-Thank you.

Wow, this is massive.

Today I'm showing my client and close
friend a home in Amestoy Estates,

which is like
the Beverly Hills of the Valley.

He's looking for a cool, ultra-modern home
with lots of space, high-end amenities,

in a safe neighborhood,

and everybody knows you get
more bang for your buck in the Valley.

-Amanza! Amanza! Amanza!
-[Amanza] Oh!

Why did I know
you were gonna look super fly?

-Kind of. Nothing's changed!
-We coordinate!

-Hi, friend! How are you?
-[Garrain] Hey.

-[Amanza] Hi.
-You're about to show me a house.

And I think the last time I saw you,
I was living in an abandoned building.

[pop music ends]

-And I'm not joking.
-That's not true.

Not the last time I saw you, but yes.

Garrain and I sort of have
this rags-to-riches friendship.

I've known him since before he traveled
the world doing motivational speeches,

and he knew me before I was decorating
and selling luxury real estate.

So I'd have never thought 22 years ago

that I'd be showing him
a multimillion-dollar house.

It's six bedrooms, six baths,

a little bit under 6,000 square feet,


["Real Thing" by Catching Comets plays]

And it's priced at 5,995.

-There's a pool. There's a gym.
-[Garrain] Okay, yeah.

[Amanza] Basketball court,
miniature golf course.

-I would never need to go anywhere!
-Never!

You can park 30 cars in the drive,
and there's a three-car garage.

-[Garrain] Nice. I'd like to look at it.

With everything as chaotic

it's really important
that I just try to stay grounded

and hustle in my career.

And Garrain's a really good friend
to remind me

just how far I've come
and how hard I've fought to get here.

How are you doin'?

I'm doin' good.

Not great.

Yeah.

-I think I'm just doing good.
-Is there anything I can support you with?

You could buy this house.

[both laugh]

-Go ahead and do that.
-Yeah.

Um, but no, I just...
I've been really putting in work.

I'm getting close to where I wanna be,
and how I wanna feel about myself.

I've got some work to do still,
but, yeah, we've come a long way.

Yeah. Totally.

So in terms of the house price, space,
amenities, does it hit all the marks?

For one, the space, it's a ten outta ten.

And every room has high ceilings,
natural lighting. I love that.

Backyard, I love that.

I love it and I just don't make decisions
without having conversations with my wife.

Of course, so once you have
just that discussion with Blair,

if you decide mutually
this is a purchase you'd like to make,

and you're traveling,

I have two children and myself

who would happily come
and keep it occupied while you're gone.

[laughter]

You are literally the same person.

You have the same personality
since I met you. It's the same.

-Thank you. I think that's a compliment.
-Yeah. It definitely is.

I will say, right now,
I'm very proud of myself.

-Let's go. Let's go.
-Let's go!

-Man in the stands, let's go!
-I'm actually proud of myself. Love it.

Okay, wait. So the other night,
how did it go with Chelsea?

Mm... I don't know. I don't think I can
get past it or really accept her apology.

I don't know if it's genuine.

It's like, "You said what you said
with your chest. You meant it."

But I feel like
she wants to be your friend.

I know you're not quite there...

-But why?
-'Cause you're cool as f*ck.

-Is that why?
-That is why!

I just think that, yeah,
of course you wanna be friends

when everybody else is cool.

But it feels like you're ready to jump on
whatever bandwagon everybody else was.

So if you all had disliked me,
she would have disliked me.

So for me, it's like I hate to be
such a bitch about it,

but it's like, I don't have
any inclination to try to be friends.

She's there now,
maybe you'll get there soon.

I'm making a hard push for Chels.

[Bre] I don't know,
but I'm even more mad about Brett.

He just handed me a $5 million listing
like it was charity or something.

-It was like, he just insulted me!
-Yeah, it was an insult.

And then like, "I'm gonna sugarcoat it."

It was like a Sour Patch Kid,
sour and then sweet.

-Captain A-holes.
-Those sour patch f*ckers!

Little sour patch f*ckers!

Yeah! "Little" being the key word there!

-I know, I'm like, "Relax, okay?"

♪ I bring back that new thing ♪

[Bre] Actually, I do wanna talk
to you about something.

Sure.

During the office meeting the other day,

I was really offended that you
said I came in with a slow start,

considering that I came back to work
at six weeks postpartum.

And I have celebrity clients.

I have big clients looking
from $45 to $60 million range.

And I feel like I brought it.

From what I hear about the other girls,
I don't feel behind.

I feel like I'm definitely up there.

Objectively, if I just look at everything,
I do think you got off to a slow start.

I don't know. I feel like because you guys
don't have kids, you don't get it.

I literally haven't slept in months.

I'm not minimizing that.

When we brought you on,

the expectation was that we would be doing
deals like this house right here.

Hundreds of people applied to this small,
little boutique brokerage on Sunset,

and we take
a handful of people every year.

So the expectations couldn't be higher.
I don't compare you to other agents.

I compare you to what I think you can be,
which is a lot more than other agents.

I would appreciate
a little bit more grace.

I don't need a pat on the back,
but I will crush this.

I do have amazing clients.

I am f*cking good at what I do,
and I will only get better.

Then that's the attitude we need,
even for a $5 million listing.

That should be motivation.

I mean, a $10 million listing
would've been better.

When the time comes,
you will absolutely get that.

But this one is a serious listing
that needs to be taken seriously.

I take everything seriously.

-Okay, I'll never lower expectations.
-Got it.

Well, so...

Whew! [sighs]

-Can I get you something to drink?
-[Chelsea] A spicy margarita.

-Two of those?
-Yeah, thank you.

Chelsea and I haven't been
on the best terms lately,

but Chelsea called, wanting to talk,

and I decided to come
because I need some zen in my life.

Some zen-a*. [chuckles]

I saw something
I wanted to catch up with you about.

I saw you post your story.

I like almost broke down in tears, truly,

because I forgot to remember that behind
any incredibly strong person is a story.

-But I read the story.
-Yeah.

But I feel like
it's different hearing it from you.

But yeah, so basically,

I was raised by my mom and my stepdad.

I'm half-Black. So my mom was white,
and I was the only Black one.

My stepdad and my stepdad's father
are pedophiles.

I don't remember exact timelines,
but from the time I was three,

and I'm pretty sure the last time
it happened was when I was around 11,

I was molested
by my step grandfather and my stepdad.

Simultaneously in my house,

my mom was very mentally abusive.

And so there was no safe space.

I wasn't gonna go tell my mom
what was happening

because if my stepdad went away...

Sadly, and this sounds so f*cked up,

in the house,
he was sometimes a better parent.

That only happened sometimes,
and my mom was mentally abusive every day.

Yeah.

So when people are like, "How are you
so strong from a very young age?"

The people that were supposed
to be protecting me, didn't.

So it's a survival mechanism.

I would've never known
because you are an incredible mom.

You're an incredible friend.
You're an incredible businesswoman.

And the reason I was so shocked is because
we think you have it all figured out.

I don't want people to think that
I'm always okay, and I've figured it out

because that is
a very heavy weight to carry.

When you don't see me
go out with our friends,

and you don't see me
at the pool party or the whatever,

it's probably because I'm at home,

and I'm laid out in my bed,

and I've hired somebody
to care for my kids for three days

because I am just in a dark place,

and I am just... sad.

And I don't wanna have to do that anymore.

I love you for your vulnerability

because a part of your vulnerability
has encouraged me to be more vulnerable.

And I've tried to be so strong for so long
and put on this pretty picture.

Because as Black girls...

we're told that we have to.

And I want you to know
that we are more than acceptable.

We are more than worthy.

We are more than loved
just showing up as ourselves.

Just hearing you say that,

I just felt like there was
a small victory for me

because that is the reason
why I am sharing.

I want people to know,

if you struggle
with anything along the way,

like if you're depressed,

if you're anxious,
if you're even suicidal,

don't give up.

-Don't give up. Don't give up.
-Don't give up.

I'm on the other side of it.
I can be like, "Don't give up."

"Look at me now. Look!"

[Chelsea] Me and Amanza,

we argue like sisters,
and we make up like sisters too.

If you are going to be a great friend,

you've gotta start
with transparency and honesty.

So it means the world to me
that Amanza shared this with me,

and it shows me
that she really values this friendship.

-We just unpacked a lot!
-I know.

-We just had a therapy session!
-We did!

I'm so inspired by your strength.

I genuinely think
you're the most incredible person ever.

-Thank you, Chelsea.
-Genuinely.

And I love you.

I love you.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-[Nicole] I know.

[Kiel] You liking it?

-[Nicole] Yes. Absolutely.
-[Kiel] Good.

[Nicole] Definitely capturing
the style of the house.

[Maggie] And the feel.

Yeah, just funking it up a bit.
I think that's what we really needed.

[Nicole] Absolutely.

-[Nicole] You're doing a fantastic job.
-Excellent. We're almost there.

Yeah, I love it.

-Pulling out the architectural...
-Perfect for the coffee table!

-I love that. Excellent.
-[Nicole] Yeah? All right.

-What about this guy too?
-[Kiel] Him too. We need that scale.

Any of this stuff to put
on the ledge there, or just the book?

-I think... Hey! How are you?
-[Jason] What's up, guys?

-Good to see you as always.
-Good to see you.

-[Nicole] What do you think of it so far?
-Looks amazing!

-[Nicole] Right?
-Good to see you.

-[Nicole] Any feedback?
-[Jason] No, I really like it.

You guys knocked it out.

This Regency style is one of my favorites.

It's just timeless,
and classic, and sophisticated.

[Jason]
This mirror makes it look a lot bigger.

-That was huge.
-We did mirrors all over the house.

It feels much bigger than it is
just how you guys did it.

-And you did it so fast too!
-[Jason] Hey!

[Nicole] You stepped it up!

-[Chrishell] How are you?
-[Kiel] How are you?

-Good to see you.
-You too.

-Hello. Hi.
-Hi. How's it going?

Good to see you.

[Kiel] Hi, Chrishell!

-[Chrishell] Place looks amazing.
-[Kiel] Cute?

I just saw a bit.

I can't wait to see it all.
This looks great.

What do you think
of this Regency vibe they leaned into?

[Chrishell] I think that's the way to go

'cause obviously the house
and the architecture on its own says that.

So I think that's the vibe somebody
will want when they're getting this house.

You ready to set
a price-per-square-foot record?

Uh, I wanna see
the rest of the staging, the comps.

I'm just walking into this.

I know I've been out of the office
for a little bit, so I need to...

Um... But I'm excited to kind of catch up.

See where you guys are so far.
Us, figure out what's going on here.

-And, yeah, great job, you guys.
-[Kiel] Thank you!

We're gonna wrap up
a couple things downstairs.

-Thank you.
-[Kiel] Perfect! Thank you, guys!

So I asked Nicole
to just jump in and help out

because she's good
at this detail stuff and, um...

Yeah, just, obviously,
this is what happened last time.

So I'll be a little hesitant
to figure this out.

If you've been putting in work on this,
you take it.

I'm not tryin' to...
I'm not doing that again.

[tense music plays]

I either want it to be
all my listing or all Nicole's listing.

And I'm fine with either one,
but I just need to know,

'cause I don't wanna get in a position
where it can go south again.

Fair point. It's 110% your listing.

[tense music continues]

You're very welcome
for doing all the work for you.

This is a house I know you love
and almost bought for yourself.

You're the perfect agent to sell it,

but, yeah, it's not a coincidence
that you're both here.

In my perfect world,

you guys would try to resolve
the frustrations of the past.

Now that I'm happy
that everything is clear,

I'm hoping we can move forward.

I don't like
where Chelsea's birthday ended.

It felt ugly. It felt gross.

And it doesn't matter who's right anymore

because we're both
going to lose in this situation.

We can lose in business, in friendships,

and it's not something
I wanna be involved in.

So I just wanna apologize

'cause I know that I got really upset
and triggered about certain things.

And so,
regardless of what you did or said,

I just wanna be responsible
for how I contributed in that night.

I don't like where it went,

and I don't intend
to let that happen again.

I'm gonna try and,
you know, smoke my peace pipe.

[chuckles] But anyway,
I'm sorry for taking it to a dirty place.

Thank you.

If we could avoid any of that forever,

I think everyone would be
a thousand times better off in every way.

[tense music continues]

The one thing I'm missing
is Nicole's accountability in any of this.

You know, she didn't say anything,
and she did so many things.

I'm like, "You can't think
of one thing, girl?!"

Both of you, to be honest,
probably hit below the belt,

and that was upsetting.

I appreciate what you just said.
I hope that you do.

Listen, I said I would do it.
I would do it for you to help you.

I did my part.

I'm done. I'm out. Bye, guys.
