Selfie S1E13 (FINALE) - "I Woke Up Like This" Recap


Eliza recalls her high school mean girl Corynn McWatters who had been a bully to her, even going so far as to cut off Eliza's hair while she was sleeping at a sleepover Corynn had invited her to. Henry suggests that Eliza find a female role model to continue bettering herself. Eliza questions co-worker Joan, and then Charmonique, who turns down being Eliza's role model while also sharing the tidbit that she used to be a hand model. Charmonique also asks Henry to teach her son to skateboard, as he has recently been diagnosed as pre-hypertensive and also has sleep apnea.

Eliza asks Henry about using Corynn as her role model, after seeing her many accomplishments on her social media. Eliza asks Henry to come along and check Corynn out at her book reading later that night and Henry reluctantly agrees, though still not believing Corynn to be a good choice since she had been such a bully to Eliza. Henry struggles with a childhood insecurity of his own, in the form of some twelve-year old skateboarders who say he is a poser, while he is trying to instruct Charmonique's son.

When Eliza attends Corynn's book signing, she finds that Corynn has stolen Eliza's story of being bullied, unpopular, and lonely in order to better sell herself as a success story. Eliza ends up making a scene and Henry has to drag her out of the bookstore. Eliza is emotional over having her story stolen, and how she had worked so hard to change that person that Corynn had bullied so much. Henry admits to a security guard that he only pretended to be good at skateboarding from the time he was young because he wanted to seem cool. Henry also admits that he isn't cool, but Eliza is, though she's not there to hear it.

Henry visits Eliza and encourages to be as brave as she has shown herself to be on prior occasions, stop feeling sorry for herself, and stand up for herself instead. She goes to confront Corynn in a park, with Henry by her side. Corynn doesn't recognise Eliza as the girl she bullied before. Eliza seems as if she'll chicken out, but after Henry "burns" Corynn and encourages Eliza, Eliza is able to clumsily burn Corynn too. Henry heads to a skate park ready to try to prove himself as a skateboarder but ends up falling and injuring himself falling into a ramp.

At work, Eliza notices a co-worker named Linda has done something different with her hair and Linda admits that she has been reading Corynn's book and is inspired by the story of her coming from an ugly background and overcoming it all to become hot and successful. Eliza decides that she can be her own role model and notes how her thirteen-year-old self would be so proud of her. In order to prove that she is proud of her thirteen-year-old self, she heads to the bathroom and cuts her hair into a shorter bob. That night, Eliza dreams of being at next year's "Women in Pharmaceuticals" brunch, which she had missed this year due to taking too long to get ready for. She begins to believe that she can inspire other women now.

Henry ends up with a cast, on which a skateboarder writes the message, "No Fear." Skateboarders question him on whether he has hooked up with Eliza, and Henry begins to reflect on his time with Eliza and his blossoming feelings for her. He says that next time he'll be ready, implying that eventually he will admit his feelings to Eliza.

Selfie S1E12 - "Stick in the Mud" Recap


Henry is excited about Kindercare's upcoming charity event, as he has been training for this annual 10K run. Charmonique tells Eliza that her sister has called, which is a surprise to Henry since Eliza had claimed her family was lost at sea. Eliza is not fond of her sister Bethany because Bethany was always the perfect sister and outdid her.

Unfortunately for Henry, Saperstein decides that Kindercare will partake in an obstacle mud run instead. Freddy however, is thrilled since he excels in this event. Freddy becomes jealous over all of Henry's assignments for Eliza, believing it to be a threat to his relationship with Eliza. He instigates Henry to start feeling more competitive about excelling in the mud run.

Eliza prepares for Bethany's arrival. She notes how hearing her voice reminds her of being an insecure five-year-old again. Eliza is determined to prove that she is just as good if not better than Bethany, but is out-shined once again when Bethany announces she is pregnant. Eliza tells Henry that Bethany has gotten pregnant just to make her feel like her life is insignificant. She then pushes Henry to make nice with Freddy and have him help Henry train.

When Henry is out training with Freddy, Freddy continues to be hostile and rude. Eliza and Bethany also continue to butt heads. This hostility between the two pairs carries on into the race. Bethany encourages Charmonique that she can do well in the race and Charmonique takes off going. It's the final straw for Eliza, who makes clear her disdain for Bethany seemingly acting like she is better than Eliza.

Freddy and Henry end up tackling each other and wrestling in the mud, as Freddy tells Henry he's sick of him undermining his relationship with Eliza, and Henry is sick of Freddy making him feel insecure about his age.

At home, Eliza shares how she always felt like when she was born, their family fell apart and Bethany apologises for the fact that their parents were divorcing and it led to her not getting as much attention. They reconcile, as do Freddy and Henry, who tied for second in the mud run, while Charmonique came in first. Eliza is happy to see that Bethany has finally followed her back on Instagram and then decides to call their mother for the first time in a while.

The final episode of Selfie airs next Tuesday on Hulu Plus.

Selfie S1E11 - "Perestroika" Recap


Eliza is still dealing with Henry's rejection and employs some techniques she learned from her class mean girl Corynn McWatters. Step 1) Pretend not to see the individual in question. Step 2) Pretend not to hear the individual in question. Step 3) Since steps 1 and 2 didn't work, Gone Girl his ass (which involves writhing on the floor with the contents of a ketchup bottle all done your front. Charmonique tries to organise peace between the two, but Eliza snubs Henry instead.

Eliza also faces problems when her landlord demands rent and an increase for her security deposit. Henry is horrified when he gets an 89% on his performance review, the lowest mark he has ever gotten on anything in his entire life. He learns that negative peer reviews were the reason for his lower-than-usual score so he asks Saperstein if he may take them to look over the feedback.

Eliza finds she has to vacate her apartment because of several unpaid bills and asks Charmonique for help, admitting that she's afraid of looking through her mail, bills, etc. Her credit cards are maxed, she has no cash, and now has no place to live in. Charmonique tells her to clean herself up and ask Henry for help.

Eliza tries to check into a hotel and is only able to book a room when the clerk finds that she has more rewards points than anyone he's ever seen. She enjoys the luxury of the presidential suite but runs away since she can't pay the bill. Eliza resorts to selling discounted gift cards around the office and even tries to peddle her trucker hat. Henry believes that Eliza is the one who gave him an F on his performance review, though she denies doing so. Henry tries to get answers from Raj, the HR guy, and intimidates him into discretely telling him that it wasn't Eliza who gave him the bad review.

Henry returns to his office and finds Eliza 'living' there, wearing her pyjamas and lying on his sofa and drinking peaches. She admits her problem and dumps all her mail and bills onto his desk. He offers up advice and Eliza is delighted when she notes that Henry isn't mad at her but simply his usual level of disappointment where she is concerned. He agrees to help and lets her stay at his place for the night, adding that he'll be staying at Julia's (which is a lie, because they broke up). Henry also apologises for assuming that she was the one who wrote the bad review.

Henry calls to tell Eliza to stop snooping, which she was, and when she assumes there were cameras, Henry says that he just knows her. He claims that the voice Eliza overhears is Julia wanting to role-play but when the call ends, Eliza meets Julia who has brought some post-breakup items in a box. The next morning, Henry presents Eliza with some office supplies, and says that he has worked things out with her landlord so now she can pay things off in an instalment plan. He also tells her to stop paying so much for eye-makeup-remover. Eliza inadvertently helps Henry to realise that his assistant Charlie was the one who gave Henry the bad review.

Eliza asks Freddy why he didn't offer to let her stay with her and he says that if he had, she would have freaked out since that's what she does every time he tries to get close to her. He says that he would love to be around her as much as possible and hints that he'd like for them to live together someday. Henry tries to charm Charlie with hot cocoa filled with mini-marshmallows. Charlie apologises for the bad review and asks for him to go back to normal, since he hates for Henry to be nice to him.

Eliza asks Henry about his plans with Eliza and not-so-subtly makes it clear that she knows that he and Julia broke up. He admits the truth and the two enjoy some banter, with Eliza making height jokes about Julia and Henry telling Eliza she is like a seven-year-old.

Selfie S1E10 - "Imperfect Harmony" Recap


Eliza is still riding high on the revelation that she has feelings for Henry. She discloses this to Chramonique, who remains skeptical of a potential pairing between the two. Henry decides to report the incident to Raj in HR just so that there's full disclosure, and not to get her in trouble. Raj then offers up a sexual claims form for Henry and Eliza to fill out. Saperstein is the one who will have final say in whether or not approval is given for them to "bump uglies."

Saperstein announces that it's time for the annual Kindercare karaoke party and everyone must begin preparing their songs/duets. Eliza is determined to lock Henry down as a duet partner but he is avoiding her. Saperstein also tells everyone that performance is mandatory and that he has dibs on "Wishing Well," the song he performs every year. Eliza has a run-in with Freddy, who isn't handling their break-up so well. He is desperate to get her back, even if it's just in a purely sexual manner but Eliza turns him down.

Eliza confronts Henry about his avoiding her and admits that she has "accidentally fallen in love" with him and Henry says he needs time to figure out his feelings, so Eliza leaves to let him sort it out. Charmonique offers up advice to Eliza that she burn Henry's house down and Brynn interrupts to say that this is a terrible idea. After Charmonique and Brynn end up in a fight, three times, Eliza must set out and figure things out on her own.

Henry admits to Raj that he is very conflicted about his feelings. He feels that Julia is the safe option, the one he has been doing his whole life, but now he may have grown to love the riskier option, Eliza. He decides that he's going to go for it, as he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he didn't at least try. But he once again becomes indecisive and insecure after talking with Freddy, as he begins to believe that perhaps Eliza will back out if he puts himself out there.

Eliza shows up to the karaoke party without even bothering to glam herself up, caring more about knowing how Henry feels than what she looks like. Henry tries to claim that these feelings she's professing are actually about Freddy and that she just sabotaged her relationship with him because she was scared of being in a relationship. Eliza berates him for running away from his feelings and the fact that he's terrified of feeling something he can't control. Unfortunately, Juliet overhears the conversation just as Eliza storms off in tears.

A drunken Eliza won't listen and Henry tells her that he has to go downstairs since Juliet is waiting for him. Eliza goes on stage and sings Sia's "Chandelier," after which she carries on through the party drinking her sorrows away. She ends up going back to Freddie's place and hooking up with him. Henry ignores a call from Juliet, who leaves a voicemail breaking up with him. Saperstein sits with Henry and notes how he never got up to sing a song, which he reminds him is mandatory. Henry gets up and sings an acapella version of Cat Stevens' "Wild World," to a nearly empty room, seemingly realising his feelings and how he has made a mess of things with Eliza.

Selfie S1E9 - "Follow Through" Recap


Henry is trying to figure out how to re-brand some diaper creme and Eliza advises him to sell it as an eye cream, as she read about it as a beauty treatment in a magazine. He encourages her to pitch it to Saperstein but she is reluctant to rise to the occasion until he continues to push her. Henry then meets two of Bryn's friends who become keen on him and invite him to their book club.

Henry once again pushes Eliza to pitch the idea to Saperstein who loves the idea. They decide to use a loophole, another of Eliza's ideas, so she will get the word out via her social media platforms. Saperstein then has them begin riffing as a corporate jazz trio. Eliza is later in bed with her boy Freddy who proposes that she join him for dinner with his parents who are in town. She becomes alarmed when she and Freddy go to sleep without having sex together. She consults Charmonique for advice the next day, who says it's the next step of their relationship where you think about more than just sex with the person.

One of Bryn's friends shows up at Henry's office and tries hitting on him. He very bluntly tells her he is not interested, adding that he doesn't want to lead her on and she leaves feeling very much offended. Saperstein pushes Henry to apologise after the sandwiches that girl makes become terrible due to her heartbreak, something Saperstein is upset about since he loves those sandwiches. Henry's first attempt to apologise does not go over so well.

Eliza is working late at the office and Henry stops by and commends her for her hard work. She then mentions her dinner date with Freddy and Henry notes how Julia is a workaholic, just like Henry, and that is why the two of them are hardly ever together. Henry tells Eliza to stay off the phone during her date since the only thing that should be glowing that night is her. He offers up his jacket to Eliza, which she fashions into an evening dress. "A little bit of you, a little bit of me?" Henry responds, "That seems to be the perfect combination." Swoon.

As Eliza embarks on her dinner date, she notes how many people are hiding behind their phones. She realises that some moments are worth putting down the phone for, but so many forget to do so, including her. She now sees things about Freddy that she never saw before, because when they're together, they're either on their phones/technology or hooking up. Now that the blue haze is lifted, she is finding that Freddy is quite off-putting and she breaks up with him without even ordering any food, and leaves.

Henry shows up to the book club and apologises properly, adding that he has a girlfriend and that his approach was wrong and he still has a lot to learn. As Henry is leaving, he runs into Eliza who has had a realisation about who she really wants to be with, Henry himself. She says she wants to "give it to him tonight," speaking about the jacket but… this involves a sexy strip-tease which has Henry all flustered and the tension between these two at an all-time high. Henry leaves feeling flustered while Eliza is now determined to get her man, or else.

New episodes of Selfie air on Hulu Plus on Tuesdays.

Selfie S1E8 - "Traumatic Party Stress Disorder" Recap


Eliza learns that it is Henry's fortieth birthday, a fact that he had been making every effort to keep quiet but Charmonique insists on singing "Happy Birthday" to him as a part of company policy. Eliza is determined to get him a gift so Henry asks that it be something personal, meaningful, and modest. Eliza enlists the help of Charmonique and Larry to figure out what to get him. She considers throwing him a party but Charmonique points out that Henry's not the type to be fond of parties. Eliza opts to get Henry tickets to Blues Traveler, a band he used to love in the 90's. She is disappointed that he doesn't seem more excited so she decides to throw him a party anyway at the recommendation of the man she is currently hooking up with.

Henry is out for dinner with his girlfriend Julia and invites her to come along to the Blues Traveler concert afterwards while Eliza has broken into Henry's house to throw a surprise party together. At the concert, Henry quickly begins to sing along and have fun dancing to all the songs while Julia quickly become uncomfortable with Henry's unrestrained joy. Eliza calls up Sam, Charmonique, and other co-workers and decides to throw an office-themed party because of Henry's love for work. Julia leaves Henry at the concert and he returns home only to be further upset to find everyone in his house for a party. He pulls Eliza aside and gets into an argument with her over not being able to have peace in his home. His coworkers overhear him and leave. Eliza chides him for not being grateful that people want to party with him, especially since people did not want to come to her birthday parties when she was younger.

Julia comes over to Henry's place to apologise for her behaviour, saying that he had pushed her out of her comfort zone and that she became cold and judgemental as a result. Henry admits he tends to be the same way as he looks at the merchandise he bought at the concert. The next day, Henry apologises to Eliza and expresses his gratitude for everything she did, admitting that he had fun at the concert. She then shows him a video of him from the concert of him having fun and he tries to get it to delete, not realising that he can't do that.

The remaining episodes of Selfie will air on Tuesdays on Hulu.

Selfie S1E7 - "Landline" Recap


Henry and Eliza are still nicely settled into their friendships. Henry gifts Eliza with a landline and Eliza learns that Henry is dating Julia, the woman he met at the end of last week's episode. Eliza is upset that Henry didn't tell her sooner. Henry notes the many things he has in common with Julia to his co-worker Larry, who warns him that Julia will become jealous by how close he is with Eliza. Eliza is confident that things will not change between her and Henry until her neighbour Bryn warns her that if she doesn't get on well with Julia then she will be the one cast aside.

Henry and Eliza apologise to each other. Saperstein asks Eliza if she'd be willing to introduce the keynote speaker at an upcoming event Pharmaceuticon, believing her internet star power is just what can help. Eliza confides in Charmonique about her concerns, who tells her that being supportive is the wrong way to keep Henry in her life. Charmonique advises her to "take the bitch down." Julia tells Henry about some negative feedback she received online and Henry quickly deduces that it was Eliza.

Eliza worries that Henry has stood her up to help her with introducing the keynote speaker. Henry comes over and tells her off for sabotaging Julia's career and says that they cannot be friends anymore. Eliza is saddened to have lost the only friend she ever had. She gets inspiration from her neighbour Bryn to bake Julia a cake. She has Charmonique make an appointment for her at Julia's office. She then decides to not go through with a direct meet but leaves the cake.

Henry learns that the cake was from Eliza due to a note left on it though Julia didn't know. Henry tells Julia that he should go to see Eliza give her speech and Julia is fine with him going, saying she is self-assured enough to not have a problem with Henry having female friends. Eliza successfully introduces the keynote speaker but is still sad about Henry until she finds him standing behind her. He agrees to keep helping her and Eliza happily but tearfully agrees. Eliza later visits Julia to apologise for leaving the bad reviews and Julia accepts.

Selfie S1E6 - "Never Block Cookies" Recap


Eliza decides that Henry's being particularly cantankerous is an indication that he needs to get laid. She shares this tidbit with Charmonique, who says that a coffee barista in the building had previously experienced interest in Henry. Eliza and Charmonique manoeuvre a meeting for the two but he remains oblivious that he is being hit on. Eliza and Charmonique make plans to create a dating profile for Henry, pre-screen some women to be invited to a mixer so that Henry can get laid.

Saperstein gets into an argument with his wife, after she sees him being dismissive to his son-in-law, Terrence. Saperstein catches Eliza and Charmonique snooping through Henry's things and learns of what they're doing, offering to help them get information out of him for the dating profile. Unbeknownst to Henry, profiles for him are being posted on every other conceivable dating website. When Eliza invites Henry out for drinks (to be set up with someone else), Henry's co-worker is present and tells him that Eliza is interested in him.

Charmonique and Eliza are making arrangements for Henry's set-up and Eliza is being entirely dismissive of all of the women that have expressed interest. Charmonique warns Eliza that she'll need to coach Henry so he doesn't screw anything up. Eliza stops by Henry's place, ready to teach him the importance of finding a way to touch someone in order to facilitate a connection. Henry is resistant at first but then he grabs Eliza around the waist, leading to an intense stare-down between the two before Eliza scurries off again.

Saperstein invites Terrence to have lunch with him and asks him what he wants. Terrence just wants to be treated like everyone else at work and not be dismissed like everyone else. When Saperstein notes who well Terrence handles verbal abuse, he promotes Terrence to work in customer service.

Eliza and Charmonique bring Henry to the party for him and he is offended, telling them that they've just made it all about them since all of the women present look like either Eliza or Charmonique. He storms off angrily after telling them that casual sex doesn't interest him and is looking for the real thing instead. Eliza follows Henry out to apologise but stops when she sees Henry hit it off with a woman who is more similar to him in personality.

Selfie airs on Tuesdays on ABC at 8PM.

Selfie S1E5 - "Even Hell Has Two Bars" Recap


Henry is excited to learn that he has been invited to his boss Sam Saperstein's estate in Santa Barbara, believing this is the first step to a promotion, but is upset to learn that Eliza has been invited too. She claims she has earned her invite and becomes defensive when Henry suggests that she might be his plus-one. Saperstein confirms that Eliza is the plus-one when she and Henry arrive. Her anger dissipates when she learns of all the pampering she'll be receiving. Her horror returns when she learns there is no wi-fi at the estate.

Henry isn't doing so well making a good impression, as he is being boring. The group decides to join Eliza's plans to lounge by the pool, which distresses Henry as he had only prepared to ride horses. Henry wants to re-introduce the idea to go horseback riding but again the group wants to do what Eliza wants to: Oprah-sight-seeing.

Henry begins to panic, worrying that the promotion is slipping through his fingers. Eliza tells him to do one fun thing before the day is over so that Saperstein will know that he is capable. This backfires when Henry jumps into a lake that Saperstein's wife had saved and had been untouched by humans. Henry lashes out at Eliza but regrets it after seeing that Eliza was only trying to help.

Henry goes to dinner and gives a speech to Saperstein and his family, apologising for unravelling when things didn't go according to plan. Saperstein is moved, and admits that he had always wanted to jump in the lake. He says he wanted to see the flawed, un-planned part of Henry. He also says he invited Eliza because she brings out the best in Henry. Henry tells Saperstein that Eliza is more than a plus-one, but a VIP, echoing her earlier words.

Henry gets on a horse to catch up to Eliza and apologise. She is impressed by how well he rode the horse. Henry tells her that he got the promotion and that their friendship is just as important as his job. Later, Saperstein sneaks out to jump into the forbidden lake.

Selfie S1E4 - "Nugget of Wisdom" Recap


Eliza has big plans to go out partying over the weekend but Henry proposes that she do something helpful over the weekend instead. She agrees to do so on the condition that he spend his weekend not working. Chramonique is headed to her class reunion to reunite with an old boyfriend and Eliza offers to come over to her place and help her get ready. Henry becomes alarmed to learn that a children's vitamin, his first big rebrand, is set to be cancelled.

Eliza heads to Charmonique ready to finish quickly so she can get out and party, as she is worried that her frenemy Fit Brit is set to overtake her in terms of follower count on instagram. But problems arise when Charmonique's babysitter for her son Kevin gets sick and has to cancel. It looks as if Charmonique will miss out until she gets Eliza to babysit Kevin instead.

Before leaving, Charmonique advises Eliza on the various ways to tend to Kevin, including feeding him nuggets. Kevin gets Eliza to open up about her Internet fame woes and Kevin proposes they create an illusion of Eliza partying so she can keep up.

Charmonique arrives at her reunion and things take a bad turn when Mitchell, her ex-love, is revealed to have become a minister. He begins lecturing her on the immorality of her being a mother out of wedlock. Henry becomes angry at seeing social media photos of Eliza seemingly out at a party with Kevin and is amazed upon going to Charmonique's place to find the illusion they have created. He joins in on the dancing when Kevin puts some K-Pop on.

Eliza and Henry struggle to get Kevin to go to bed as he begins to cry and sound like Eddie Murphy. They try to recreate Charmonique's routine but the Eddie Murphy crying continues. Charmonique calls to check in and overhears "Eddie Murphy." She tells Eliza to give Kevin his bedtime nuggets and Eliza thanks her, telling her she's the best mom ever. Charmonique then tells Mitchell that she has self love and is a good mother before going out on the dance floor.

This gives Henry the idea to rebrand the vitamins as chicken nuggets but then Eliza asks about all the ODs children have had in overeating the gummy vitamins of other companies. Henry and Eliza pitch it to the company that they'll focus on exposing the weakness in the strengths of other companies' vitamins. Their boss loves it and the vitamin will live to see another day. Henry's boss tells him that he and Eliza make quite the power couple. Henry tries to brush it off but then looks off at Eliza seemingly interested.

Later, Eliza asks if she can get an award for doing what she was supposed to and asks if she can have 60,000 dollars to replace Charmonique's ruined wigs after Eliza left the door open.

Selfie airs on Tuesdays on ABC at 8PM.

Selfie S1E3 - "A Little Yelp From My Friends" Recap


Eliza's still addicted as ever to her phone. She's slowly making an effort to improve her social skills based on the advice given to her by Henry. They head in for a meeting at which their boss Mr. Saperstein tells them about the importance of interpersonal connectivity amongst their work colleagues. When they are tasked with rating each other, a higher-up named Joan gives Eliza a 0, which she doesn't even notice at first because she is too busy on her phone to pay attention.

Eliza has already made a bad impression on Joan from having repeatedly eaten her labelled food. Henry stressed to Eliza the importance of connecting with Joan, as she is Saperstein's second-in-command. Eliza tries to learn about Joan by stalking her online presence, but comes up empty because Joan doesn't do social media. Eliza asks Charmonique for help, who points her in the direction of the mass amount of reviews Joan has left on Yelp.

Henry gets more than he bargained for by inadvertently contributing to his co-worker Larry falling out with his wife. She has ended things with Larry and now Larry is starting to cling on his apparent friendship with Henry.

Eliza crashes Joan's aerobic class and begins listing off things Joan likes, thus warming Joan's opinion of her. She later apologises to Joan for eating her food, and offers to buy her dinner. Eliza gets pizza that Joan and her husband like but ends up in trouble when she reveals knowledge of Scott's allergy to oregano, something Joan never shared. Joan questions Eliza on a piece of trivia she had early claimed to know about and figures out that Eliza has been Yelp-stalking her. Eliza apologises, saying she was just trying to get to know her, and leaves.

With a nudge from Silverstein, Henry finds himself compelled to let Larry stay with him. Henry suggests Larry do a grand romantic gesture and Larry gets it in his head that he should put a flashmob together to impress his wife and win her back. The following morning, Charmonique recognises that Henry is wearing a tear-away suit and deduces immediately that he will be taking part in a flash mob. He warns Henry that Larry has a compulsive tendency to organise flash mobs, which Nancy hates, and that this is yet another example of how Larry does not listen to Nancy and what she wants.

Eliza expresses her sadness at her failure to befriend Joan and Henry admits he's not much better off, as he is not actually friends with Larry and only agreed to take part in the flashmob because he thought it would get rid of him. Unfortunately, Larry overhears this and is hurt. Henry apologises but tells Larry that a flashmob will not get him his wife back and that he would be better off utilising a smaller gesture. Larry later goes to see his wife, bringing along a bouquet of flowers.

Henry has a special trash can put into his office, for which Eliza can eat standing over (a habit she claims to have a preference for). She admits to Henry that it is an excuse she made up because when she was younger, no one wanted to sit with her at lunch. Now she's just kind of used to it. Henry then joins her in eating standing over the trash can. Eliza internally notes that perhaps this is what friendships are made of.

Selfie airs on Tuesdays on ABC at 8PM.
