Ep 3. Parent Trap

After being financially scammed by her father, June struggles to make ends meet and turns to Chloe for help in finding a job. Chloe offers to hook her up with a job at her fashion magazine and suggests she bonds with the editor by pretending to have lost her mother at a young age. Meanwhile, James tries to reconnect with his estranged father, but is met with disappointment when he learns his father only wants him for his money. June and James end up commiserating together over their rocky parental relationships.

Throughout the episode, Chloe continues to manipulate and deceive everyone around her, including pretending to be a therapist for June's boss and tricking a guy into thinking she's into him for a free meal. Meanwhile, June struggles with the ethics of lying about her mother's death to get ahead at work, ultimately leading to a confrontation with Chloe when the lie endangers a relationship with an important client.

Amidst all the deceit and scheming, the episode touches on the theme of familial relationships and the impact they can have on one's personal and professional life. Despite their flaws and differences, June and James find solace in each other and their shared experiences of parental disappointment. Meanwhile, Chloe grapples with her own abandonment issues and attempts to fill the void with manipulation and lies.

Overall, "Parent Trap" delivers the same witty humor and biting sarcasm that viewers have come to expect from Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23, while also exploring deeper themes and character development.
