Once at the bar, Simon and Cherise realize, to their horror, that its Robs birthday.

Instead, she accepts a FaceTime call from her mom, and everything goes downhill from there.

Which is too bad, because Robs mom is played byJessica Hecht!

Turning in another excellent guest performance on a buzzy show!

(Shes also recently been onSuccessionas Logan Roys unauthorized biographer and onDickinsonas Emilys horny world traveler aunt Lavinia.)

Its always great to see Jessica Hecht!

Even when shes dispensing advice that will go horribly wrong, as it will in this case.

This baby is a surprise to Rob, who assures Tanya that she looks as hot as ever.

I know New York is the city that never sleeps, and I know that Im a strong homebody.

Hes a musician, and he doesnt remember Tanya at all.

A conciliatory Clyde calls from his climbing gym (at 10:30pm?

They agree to meet up in about an hour.

Its nice to be thought of, even if the whole thing is a little awkward.

Tanya and Rob exchange looks, then down their shots.

Tanya and Squid are aghast: youre 30?

There should be more people here!

This hasnt been a great year for Rob as a maintainer of friendships.

Everyone takes their leave, and as Rob heads out, she sees Cherise working the coat check.

Shes puzzled but doesnt pursue it.

Where does this leave her plan with Clyde?

Mac meets Rob outside the Allied, her favorite pizza and a six-pack in hand.

Okay, the drink is now a lowkey date up on the roof.

As they chomp amicably, Rob inquires about the wedding planning, and Macs answer is definitely weird.

I slept with someone else.

What an incredible mindfuck!

Mac stalks off and Rob collapses in a sobbing heap.

Its so easy to overdo drunk acting, and whatever technique shes using is making her seem actually drunk.
