Ep 5. Yes We Can

Erica heads to therapy again in the latest episode, still struggling to make her way through the challenges of her life. One of the biggest things weighing on her mind is the fact that she hasn't been able to secure a job, despite her best efforts. She's starting to feel like she's never going to be able to make a career for herself, no matter how hard she tries.

To make matters worse, Ethan has started to act very distant and cold towards her, and she's not sure she can handle the disappointment if things don't work out between the two of them. All of these issues come to a head in this episode, which finds Erica at a bit of a crossroads.

This week, Erica takes a page out of the Barack Obama playbook and decides to use the power of positivity to get her life back on track. She starts to say "yes" to everything that comes her way, hoping that this will open up new opportunities and help her to see things in a more positive light.

One of the first things Erica has to say "yes" to is an uncomfortable reunion with her ex-boyfriend, Kai. She hasn't seen him in years, and the two of them have a lot of baggage to work through if they're going to be able to move forward. Despite her reservations, Erica agrees to meet with him, hoping that this will help her to put some of her past behind her.

Erica also finds herself saying "yes" to a job opportunity that she initially turned down. She knows that the job isn't exactly what she's been hoping for, but she's determined to make the best of it. With the encouragement of her therapist, she decides to throw herself into the new job and see where it takes her.

As Erica starts to say "yes" to more and more things, she begins to notice a change in herself. She feels more optimistic and energetic, and she starts to find joy in things that used to stress her out. She even manages to connect with Ethan in a meaningful way, which gives her hope that they might be able to work through their issues.

Of course, life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Erica's newfound positivity is put to the test when she's faced with a difficult decision at work. She has to choose between doing what's best for the company and doing what's best for the people she cares about. It's a tough spot to be in, but Erica ultimately learns an important lesson about the power of kindness and empathy.

Overall, "Yes We Can" is a heartwarming episode of Being Erica that reaffirms the show's commitment to positivity, growth, and self-discovery. Erica's journey is far from over, but she's starting to see that a little optimism can go a long way.
