Casual is a comedy-drama series that revolves around Valerie, a recently divorced mother who moves in with her younger brother Alex, who is the founder of a dating website. The show explores the modern dating scene, relationships, and the challenges of raising a teenage daughter.

In season one, episode four, titled “Womanizer,” Valerie finds herself having to deal with a difficult situation at work when a colleague accuses her of stealing her work. She's under a lot of stress and pressure and seeking a distraction. Meanwhile, Alex's new dating app is taking off, and he decides to use it to his advantage and becomes a notorious womanizer.

The episode begins with Valerie experiencing workplace drama when she is accused of stealing Sarah's work. Sarah is a new colleague who aims to challenge Valerie's expertise and position in the company. Sarah is making it difficult for Valerie, who is already struggling with raising her teenage daughter Laura, who is going through some tough times in her personal life.

Valerie tries to focus on work, but it's not easy when she's confronted with Sarah's hostility every day. The tension between the two women reaches a boiling point when Valerie gets invited to a client's yacht party, and Sarah sees it as an opportunity to prove Valerie wrong in front of the client.

While Valerie is dealing with work drama, Alex is testing the limits of his dating app's potential. He's on a mission to sleep with as many women as possible using his own app. His friend Ben is not impressed by his behavior, but Alex rationalizes his actions by saying that he's just testing his product. Alex's attitude towards women is putting a strain on their friendship, and it's not long before Ben confronts him about it.

Despite Ben's objections, Alex continues his womanizing ways, and it's not long before he meets up with a woman named Jaimie, who seems to have a different approach to dating than Alex. Jaimie challenges Alex's worldview, and he begins to see things differently. Meanwhile, Laura struggles with her feelings for her crush, Spencer, who is still dating someone else.

As the episode progresses, Valerie confronts Sarah about the stolen work accusations, and the two women have a heart-to-heart conversation. Sarah reveals that she's not happy with how things are at work, and she's been feeling insecure and threatened by Valerie. In this moment, Valerie sees Sarah as a person, and she realizes that she's been making an effort to make her life miserable.

Valerie's conversation with Sarah leads to her having a breakthrough in her personal life. She ends up forming a new relationship that could potentially change things for her. Meanwhile, Alex begins to realize that his actions about women are not right. He reaches out to Jaimie, and the two of them decide to opt for a real date rather than just a one-night stand.

In the end, Valerie, Alex, and Laura all end up learning valuable lessons about the importance of respect in their relationships. The episode closes with a budding sense of hope for all the characters, despite the many challenges they're facing.
