The story so far
Everything you need before watchingIf you like cream, you will be happy here; petit fours are little ovens, because four is French for oven. The agent tells Steve to cut to the chase: he has a co-lead in a drama series. Yolanda is asked whether they have met — yes, five years ago, a Time Out shoot, and something happened afterwards. He says he does remember, asks how she is, and offers a coke.
