I'm gonna help get you

down off of this

pole, blah, blah, blah.

We call them Captain Save-a-Ho.

-Captain Save-a-Ho,

that's hilarious.

-Yeah, I made $6,000

of one once.

-Wait, 6,000 just for dancing?

-Well, some girls dance

just to dance, right?

But I like to use the club for

networking, meeting people,

building relationships.

I'm not the kind of girl who's

gonna tell you that she'll

strip but she won't get naked,

or she'll give you a lap dance

but she won't touch you, or

she'll touch you, but she

won't give you oral.

I'm pretty much down

for anything.

Full service sex worker.

-Um, what--

What is a sex worker?

This one guy Warren, I mean,

he pays via Paypal.

It's awesome.

There's no cash exchange.

It's very clean.

And then there's this Jack, and

he's been my regular on

Tuesdays for like

a million years.

I love him like a brother.

He's your kind of run

of the mill, typical

vanilla kinky guy.

He's into some weird sh*t.

He sometimes likes

a girl to watch.

You should come, Rachel.

-Yes, you should.

You really should.

I'll take Logan to soccer

so you can go.

-Thank you, that would

be a huge help.

Sorry.

I'm gonna ruing a perfectly

good blow out.

Hey Captain Save-a-Ho.

She's a hooker.

-Sh, it's OK.

-No, it's not OK.

-Yeah it is.

-Is that a nursing bra?

-Oh, yeah.

-Logan's five.

Throw it the f*** out.

-You didn't know about

that part, right?

The friends I see sometimes?

-You were right about that.

-You still want me to

stay at the house?

-If you want out of that

life, I can help you.

-I mean, I've saved first

and last month's rent.

I could give that to you.

And I could help take

care of Logan.

-Exactly, but no money.

-I'd feel weird taking

something from you.

If you think that I

can help you, I

promise, you're not taking.

-It's inappropriate.

-Aren't you supposed to

be non-judgmental?

I'm supposed to be clear mirror,

baccarat crystal.

Excuse me, I have to

eat something.

I was recently diagnosed with

perimenopausal low blood sugar.

I brought quinoa from home.

-She just seems way too young

and, I don't know, healthy to

be spending her time having

sex for money.

-Isn't that her choice?

May I share something?

When Portia was in

graduate school--

-No, Lenore, I don't wanna

hear about Portia.

I think that's inappropriate.

-I don't know why I wanna

take care of McKenna.

I mean, what if I listen to you

and I'm like, oh, Lenore

says it's inappropriate, so I

guess it's inappropriate.

So I go home and I'm like,

sorry, McKenna.

Turns out, this is

inappropriate.

So, out she goes, back on the

street, robbed of her one

opportunity she had

to finally escape
