Ep 11. Fraudlein

As the title suggests, episode 11 of Younger's fifth season is titled "Fraudlein." The episode opens with Liza (played by Sutton Foster) dealing with the fallout of revealing her true age to Kelsey (Hilary Duff) in the previous episode. Kelsey is struggling to trust Liza, and the two work together on a book project that serves as a metaphor for their friendship. As they navigate their working relationship, Liza is also dealing with the aftermath of telling her ex-boyfriend Josh (Nico Tortorella) the truth about her age.

Meanwhile, Diana (Miriam Shor) is still reeling from her breakup with her fiancé Enzo (Chris Tardio) and is thrown for a loop when she runs into her ex-husband Richard (Ben Rappaport) at the opera. As they catch up and discuss their failed marriage, Diana begins to question whether she should have stayed with Richard instead of pursuing her career.

Elsewhere, Charles (Peter Hermann) is dealing with a potential lawsuit from the author of a book that he rejected. As he goes over the manuscript with his lawyer, he begins to suspect that one of his colleagues may have leaked the author's book to a competing publishing house. As he investigates the matter, Charles begins to realize that he may not have as much control over his company as he thought.

The episode also features some comedic moments, such as Maggie (Debi Mazar) accidentally getting high at a friend's party and Lauren (Molly Bernard) trying to convince her boss to let her take a day off to celebrate her "hot half-birthday."

Overall, "Fraudlein" is a solid episode that continues to explore the themes of trust and honesty that have been prevalent throughout the season. With only a few episodes left in the season, the show is building towards what promises to be an exciting finale.
