1	"This Is What Happens"	Craig Gillespie	Jonathan Tropper	April 11, 2025 (2025-04-11)
In a flashforward, Andrew "Coop" Cooper wakes up in a mansion next to a dead body, and hastily cleans up the blood. Four months earlier, Coop, a wealthy hedge fund manager, is abruptly fired by his boss, Jack Bailey, over a fake HR complaint from Liv Cross, a junior employee he consensually slept with months prior. Coop soon learns that Jack fired him simply to absorb his accounts. Coop is divorced from his ex-wife Mel after catching her cheating on him with his best friend Nick, a former NBA championship winner. Since then, Coop has moved into a rental home and had an on-and-off sexual relationship with his neighbor Sam Levitt, herself going through a chaotic divorce, while also looking after his wayward sister Ali. Coop also has to deal with rising costs for his children, becoming frustrated at his strained relationship with his son Hunter and his 17-year-old daughter Tori being in a relationship with a 20-year-old man. During a neighborhood party hosted by the Millers, Coop excuses himself and wanders the house, finding a roll of cash that he steals and uses to buy a drumkit originally intended for Hunter. He later returns to the Millers' home after they leave for vacation and steals a Patek Philippe watch alongside more money.
2	"Deuce"	Craig Gillespie	Jonathan Tropper	April 11, 2025 (2025-04-11)
Coop is forced to sell the watch at a much lower price than it is worth at a pawnshop in the Bronx due to not having the paperwork on hand. Coop rubs elbows at the country club before bringing Hunter with him to drop Ali off at their parents' house. However, Coop changes his mind and decides to let Ali live with him, and resumes his relationship with Sam. Coop arrives late to his daughter Tori's tennis tournament at the country club in order to rob her competitor Chelsea's parents, the Sperlings. He takes a Richard Mille watch and tries to pawn it at the same shop, but the proprietor, Lu, refuses and runs his plates.
3	"Theoretical Herpes"	Greg Yaitanes	Jonathan Tropper	April 18, 2025 (2025-04-18)
Coop arrives home to find Lu waiting for him; she tells him she ran a background check on him, and agrees to continue doing business with him so long as he does not mention her to anyone, threatening to report him to the authorities otherwise. Hunter plays a gig with his band at a house party, but suffers a bad trip from taking psychedelic mushrooms and locks himself in the bathroom; he calls Ali, who arrives at the party to comfort him. Coop begrudgingly accepts an invite to a party Nick is throwing at his house for the husbands while their wives are away at a self-defense course; Mel and Sam open up to each other at the course after sparring. Before going to Nick's party, Coop robs an expensive bottle of wine from his neighbors Dom and Kat Resnick, and witnesses Kat having sex with her daughter's boyfriend. Nick's party is cut short when one of his friends suffers an open fracture during a basketball game. Coop sneaks into Nick's house the following evening to steal Nick's NBA championship ring, but someone catches him and holds him at gunpoint.
4	"Literal Dragons"	Greg Yaitanes	Jamie Rosengard	April 25, 2025 (2025-04-25)
Nick’s housekeeper Elena catches Coop and holds him at gunpoint, but does not turn him in and instead proposes that they work together. After initially hesitating, Coop agrees to have backup. Elena introduces Coop to a cousin who has equipment that can override security codes and reveals that the community’s housekeepers often spread secrets about their clients. During a robbery, Coop encounters an unexpected alarm which he does not have the code for. Coop flees from the owner's dog and police, leaving the item and his earpiece while being bitten by the dog. Liv comes to Coop to warn him that his lawyer is cahoots with Jack. She kisses him on the cheek, which Sam notices from her car. Mel has an extravagant birthday bash thrown by Nick. Mel has an existential crisis and leaves the party in dramatic fashion. During the night Sam reconnects with Coop and they leave the party together.
5	"This Tourist Has Balls"	Greg Yaitanes	Evan Endicott & Josh Stoddard	May 2, 2025 (2025-05-02)
Mel apologizes to Nick for her behavior at the party and they have sex in a convention dressing room. Coop wants to sell one of his neighbors’ Roy Lichtenstein paintings and replace it with a replica. Coop and Sam agree to end their relationship and Sam leaves the community with her children. Cooper and Elena sell the painting to an art dealer Christian, who is immediately attracted to Elena. After the deal, they celebrate at a nightclub where they all consume cocaine and Coop and Elena dance suggestively together. Elena is cornered by Christian, who gropes and kisses her. Coop intervenes, with Elena pepper spraying Christian and escaping. Elena lashes out at Coop for getting involved because they will no longer get paid for the theft. High and frustrated at losing the deal, Coop attempts to rob Sam’s house but finds her ex-husband dead (the body from the opening scene of the series), and escapes. Meanwhile, Hunter is threatened with expulsion from school after other students exploit his ADHD medication to get high. Without consulting Coop, Mel desperately agrees to pay $240,000 towards a school fundraiser to repeal Hunter’s expulsion. Barney faces issues with new costs for his house renovation. The pressure from his overbearing parents-in-law causes Barney to nearly burn down his new barn. The next day, Coop and Barney pretend like nothing happened.
