In "The Starter Wife Pilot," we meet our protagonist, Molly Kagan. For years, she has been the wife of top Hollywood film mogul Kenny Kagan. But one day, Kenny decides that he wants to end their marriage, leaving Molly to figure out how to navigate life as a newly single woman.

As the episode begins, Molly is living in a luxurious Malibu beach house, surrounded by all the trappings of her glamorous life with Kenny. But as she wakes up on the first day of her post-marriage life, she quickly realizes that things are going to be different going forward.

Molly's first challenge is figuring out what to do with her time. She attempts to enlist the help of her friend Joan, who recommends that she try writing a novel. But when Molly sits down to write, she quickly realizes that she has no idea what she wants to say. Instead, she spends her days lounging by the pool and grieving the loss of her old life.

Things start to look up when Molly meets an attractive, charming younger man named Sam. He takes her out for a night on the town, and despite some awkward moments, the two seem to hit it off. But when Molly learns that Sam is actually an aspiring actor looking to get close to Kenny for career opportunities, she is disappointed and hurt.

Meanwhile, Kenny is making his own adjustments to life after Molly. He has begun dating a much younger woman named Shoshanna, who is eager to take his life in a new direction. Kenny is enjoying his newfound freedom, but he still seems to harbor some feelings for Molly.

As "The Starter Wife Pilot" comes to a close, Molly is faced with a harsh reality check. She attends a party where she runs into old friends and acquaintances, only to realize that she is no longer a part of their elite social circle. This realization hits her like a ton of bricks, but it also seems to motivate her to start thinking about what she wants for herself going forward.

Overall, "The Starter Wife Pilot" sets the stage for what promises to be a compelling and emotional journey for Molly. We see her at her most vulnerable and raw, struggling to come to terms with the end of her marriage and figuring out who she is outside of her role as Kenny's wife. The show blends humor and drama in a way that feels authentic and relatable, and it leaves us eager to see what comes next for this complex and fascinating character.
