Sherman wants out of the L.A. Pretenders project; Fernando finally has sex with Holly but there’s a But; Mr. Adams is on the edge of a nervous breakdown... Maybe this is a bad time to pretend like everything’s always great and perfect!

The Pilot introduces the six 'fake' friends (played by an ensemble cast); four men and two women who each live in a different area of L.A. and meet regularly at Sherman's house.
