After their unexpected and drunken hookup in the premiere episode, Jimmy and Gretchen both try to move forward in their own ways. On the surface, they seem to be the epitome of cool, detached insouciance, but both are dealing with their own inner turmoil and insecurities.

Gretchen, a music publicist, is struggling with depression, something she tries to hide from everyone around her. She spends her days partying and drinking, trying to forget her problems and put on a facade of carefree joy. When she meets up with a new client, a rapper named Sam Dresden, she is annoyed by his clingy behavior and over-the-top eagerness to be friends, but she also recognizes a kindred spirit in him.

Meanwhile, Jimmy, a struggling novelist, is trying to impress his literary idol, a guy named Boone, at a fancy dinner party. He's spent weeks preparing for the event, but when he finally meets Boone, he can't help but come across as awkward and starstruck. To make matters worse, he finds out that his ex-girlfriend just got engaged, and he spirals into a downward spiral of bitterness and self-pity.

As the night goes on, both Jimmy and Gretchen have their fair share of misadventures. Jimmy ends up getting kicked out of the party, while Gretchen accidentally smokes PCP and has a wild hallucinogenic experience. But despite their separate escapades, they eventually find themselves back together, sharing a moment of genuine connection and understanding.

Overall, "Insouciance" continues to explore the complex dynamic between Jimmy and Gretchen, as well as their individual struggles with identity, mental health, and the pressure to be "cool." It's a refreshingly honest and darkly funny look at millennial culture and the difficulty of finding meaning in a world that seems increasingly vacuous.
