After getting combative with a student, Hank is recorded talking about Railton College (the college he works at) as a beacon of mediocrity, which we learn is spurred by the imminent retirement of his absentee father from Colombia, which forced Hank to re-evaluate his current situation and reflect on his much smaller academic footprint over his giant fathers. After being pushed out as the chair of the English department, Hanks's wife, Lily (Mireille Enos), decides to pursue a new role in New York, driving a wedge between the two of them as Hank wants to stay in Railton, where his life and career are. Intermixed throughout the show are side stories between the other English department members and imminent layoffs across the college, which Hank refuses to engage with. In the end, Hank decides to help protect his English department by leaking a story about the dean of Railton College Dicky Pope (Kyle MacLachlan), making unnecessary cuts to all the departments to try and get a position at MIT.

Jocelyn's public image is compromised when a sensitive photo of her is leaked and floods the news cycle--a photo which leaves her team thinking she will throw her off the rails like when her mother had passed away a year or two prior. During her breakdown, she meets Tedros (played by Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye), the owner of a club and leader of a contemporary cult. Tedros takes over Jocelyn's business dealings, music production, and home. The cult moves into Jocelyn's home with Tedros so it will be easier for them to work on music.

In the end we see the cult group give a performance to Jocelyn's management team to convince them to take the whole act on tour, we see Jocelyn and Tedros fighting with Jocelyn getting her managers to remove Tedros from her and the other musicians' lives, and Jocleyn going on tour.
