I Will Help You

Staying with Valencia and Beth, Rebecca heads back to New York as her mother is receiving an honor from a Jewish charity group, Naomi who seems to be most proud that she has convinced her longtime friend, Elayne Boosler, to make the presentation at the banquet. In Rebecca's vow to be honest to a fault - which includes posting a detailed history of her bad deeds on her online dating profile - she plans to tell Naomi everything about her recent life, including the jail term and almost killing Trent, all in an effort to have a healthier relationship with her. While some of this information may be easy to divulge, it is one specific piece of information which may be the most difficult to tell her mother. Meanwhile, Josh, having moved out of Hector's mother's house and staying at the Y until he finds a more permanent living situation, is house-sitting for Rebecca while she's away. Josh quickly learns what few practical living skills he has in never having really lived on his own. And Nathaniel is making an effort to be a nicer person, the people at the office who are less than trusting that he doesn't have a nefarious motive for what they consider his odd behavior. Nathaniel's actions may affect Paula the most, she who has agreed to do Rebecca's pro bono legal work at the women's prison while Rebecca's gone, and who is doing this work while she's on the law firm's dime. —Huggo
