Penny admits she was just faking her nonchalance about the pandemic - because she’s getting married and wants everyone to come! (“I need this!”) She’s desperate to get hitched to her doc boyfriend Rafe… but then she gets a text from him saying he’s moving to Geneva to work with the WHO.

Penny insists that the pandemic response is overblown - she’s dating a doctor! - but Jane is still being cautious: “I’ve been cooking my mail.” Dave hadn’t even heard about COVID-19, since he’s been off the grid at a “12-week social media distancing retreat at Joshua Tree,” where he became bros with Jared Leto and brainstormed a new restaurant where diners feed each other with their hands… named Cove+D 19. Meanwhile, Alex is DJ-ing on Instagram as “DJ Be Nice” and ranting about the “Do-Nothing Democrats” ruining the economy: “My store is totally empty.” (“You have a store?”) Dave finally shows up after some jabs about his finances - he lost a lot of cash on Fyre Fest, apparently - and is instantly annoyed that Brad has a goatee now, too.
