Ep 2. Devil's Three-way

In season 1 episode 2 of Difficult People, titled "Devil's Three-way," we find our main characters Julie and Billy struggling to make it in the entertainment industry while dealing with their own personal issues. Julie is dealing with a recent breakup, while Billy is navigating his complicated relationship with his ex-boyfriend.

Julie and Billy both audition for a local theater production, but are insulted when they are only offered small roles. In an act of rebellion, they decide to create their own theater production, which they hope will turn out to be a hit.

Meanwhile, Julie's ex-boyfriend, Arthur, invites her to a "devil's three-way" with his new girlfriend. Julie is hesitant, but eventually agrees to go through with it in order to prove to herself that she is over Arthur. However, things quickly go awry and Julie is left feeling even more confused and hurt.

Billy, on the other hand, meets up with his ex-boyfriend, Nelson, who is now dating a casting director. Nelson promises to help Billy get a role in an upcoming movie, but only if Billy agrees to a "devil's three-way" with him and his new girlfriend. Billy initially refuses, but eventually gives in after feeling pressured by Nelson. The encounter leaves him feeling uncomfortable and regretful.

Julie and Billy eventually come together and realize that their self-destructive behavior is not getting them anywhere. They decide to focus on their own personal growth and career aspirations, rather than trying to prove something to their exes.

Overall, "Devil's Three-way" is an episode that explores the complexities of relationships, both romantic and platonic. It highlights the struggles of trying to make it in a cutthroat industry, while also dealing with personal issues and emotional baggage. The humor is dark and witty, and the characters are flawed and relatable. It's a great addition to the first season of Difficult People.
