7. The Son Also Rises

Complete story — includes the ending

Judith, an older woman Charles slept with when he was in college, invites him to her late husband's funeral with the motive of trying to get Empirical interested in her son Topher's book. Charles is taken aback at Topher's likeness to himself, and realizes he is the right age to possibly be his son, but Judith later insists that's not the case. Diana checks in via video call from Italy. While still dealing with fallout from her new boss, Maggie learns she is at risk of being "cancelled" as transphobic because she jokingly titled an art show many years ago, "Gypsies, Trannies, and Thieves." Elsewhere, while apartment-hunting, Kelsey gets an opportunity to appear on a reality show with a prominent New York realtor.
