“Well, I hope it’s not too weird that I crashed your birthday,” Lauren Ash’s Lexi tells Nell. Nell tries to play it off. “No, not at all. We’re co-workers,” she says.
Lexi can’t resist adding, “Well, not exactly co… kidding.” Everyone at the table laughs. Lexi follows up with, “Although, technically, that is accurate. I mean, I am your boss. But I just want you to know that I am going to strive to be a different kind of boss than my father was. I mean, he was just so aloof and out of touch. If I learned anything after I broke my back during the Olympic dressage trials, it’s that you are only as strong as the horse you’re riding.”
She turns to Nell and says, “And you… you are my horse.” That’s when Sam, played by New Girl alum Hannah Simone, chimes in so Lexi stops. “Am I being weird and entitled again?” Lexi asks. Sam lets Lexi know the truth. “See, this is why I need you,” Lexi says as Nell knocks back a shot.
