Complete story — includes the ending

Charles and Liza meet with Azalea King, asking her to be the first author to officially launch a book on the Inkubator app. Kelsey learns from Rob that the app's value far exceeds what either of them thought. She confides in Liza that she wants to go on her own, without Empirical. The two agree to keep it secret until after Empirical's 100th anniversary party, but Charles finds out via Quinn. Rob later says he wants 20 percent of Inkubator for using his connections. Kelsey is floored and breaks up with him, while she ponders crawling back to Charles. Liza reveals to Charles another secret she's been keeping: she sent his unfinished book to an exclusive writers' retreat and is happy to tell him he was accepted. Elsewhere, Maggie has a fun first date with Cass and Lauren has tea with Max, only to learn he's dating a man. As Kelsey makes up with Clare over their mutual hatred of Rob, Josh informs her that his landlord wants to unload some of his smaller properties. He gave Josh a bargain price on the building, which includes four apartments and Inkburg, and Josh plans to accept. In bed together, Charles asks Liza if she would have kept the secret about his book if he wasn't accepted. She says yes, leading to their breakup. Liza thinks she'll have to resign, but Charles surprises her at work, saying he wants her to run things while he's away at the retreat and offering her the editor-in-chief position. As Liza, Maggie, Lauren and Kelsey celebrate at a bar, Kelsey says she received an offer to run Inkubator through a company co-owned by Reese Witherspoon. The sad news is that she will be moving to Los Angeles. Liza heads to the bar to get more drinks and runs into Josh, saying, "I didn't see you here." Josh says he's been by her side all along. The two gaze into each other's eyes for several seconds before the series closes.
