Plot summary

Liza deals with her and Charles' breakup. When Liza receives flowers at work the next day from a benefit she recently attended, Lauren believes they are from Charles and congratulates them on their engagement publicly. The two embarrassedly correct her. Kelsey tells Liza to drown her stress in work. They decide to find Fupa Grunhoff, a Greta Thunberg -like teenage activist who has rejected all book offers from other publishers, thus far. Liza convinces her to write for them by digging in a pile of compost and worms to find her lost bracelet.

When the author of Arabian Sea, another upcoming book for Empirical, claims that climate change is not real on live television, Fupa goes on air and tells viewers not to buy the book, then denounces her deal with Empirical. Liza convinces her to return. Liza attends a charity auction with Charles, where she tries to compromise with him on their relationship, but he rejects her, telling her she should move on.
