In the series opener, Esther and Benji are platonic best friends who want nothing more than to be accepted by the vain and status obsessed culture of Los Angeles.
Esther plans to donate some of her eggs to be able to afford to freeze her eggs. Benji starts to feel paternal while waiting for the results of a sperm test.
Esther has to avoid the distractions of rabid teenage girls and cutthroat mothers to maintain her place in line for a pop-store. Benji gets bored and wanders off.
Benji helps his brother, Dean, get rid of an aggressive woman who won't leave him alone. Things get complicated when the woman takes an interest in Benji. Esther has a crush on Dean.
Esther tries to make a good impression on her neighbors and invites the lesbian couple over for a dinner party, as Benji and Ether's guests arrive at the dinner party Benji has to help out so she doesn't embarrass herself.
While Benji tries to dismiss Esther's concern about an impending "Big One" earthquake, he tries to use the same fear to take advantage of his sister's freaked out friend.
Benji is excited when he gets to make a music video for his young cousin's Bar Mitzvah, seeing this as a chance to promote his old ska band. However, Esther's acting gives the video a controversial subtext.
