Episode 1
Mia has spent three months searching for a husband who supposedly vanished in a skiing accident. Then she sees him in a bar, laughing with friends, raising glass after glass while someone asks when he'll finally show up. "In a week, when she really loses her mind looking for me," he says. Standing in the shadows, Mia makes a quiet call to a friend at the Social Security Administration. Her decision: have Jake declared dead. Back in the private room, friends tell her to move on, that there's basically no chance he's still alive. She agrees it's time to let Jake go — and walks out with a plan.
Episode 2
The house is quiet, and Mia admits she has been terrified of that quiet for three months. Every night she turned on every light, brewed Jake's favorite tea, and pretended he was still there. Now she picks up the figurines of the two of them and hears his bar words again: she got clingier after marriage, and faking his death is a lesson so she'll stop. Remembering how he and Lily talked like "best buddies" with their legs tangled underneath, nausea rises. Mia throws the figurines in the trash, picks up her phone, and sends a group message: Jake died three months ago, and his memorial service will be held in one week.
Episode 3
Jake's so-called brothers flood Mia with messages. How can she hold a memorial without a body? Mia, are you insane? Won't Jake be furious? Mia answers flatly that a dead man has nothing to be angry about, tosses her phone aside, and starts packing his things. Then she opens the closet and freezes: more than half of Jake's clothes are gone. The home surveillance tells the rest. Jake walked in with his arm around Lily, left with a pile of clothes, carried Lily home and didn't leave until dawn. While Mia was falling apart searching for him, he was bringing Lily into her home. Then the phone rings.
Episode 4
It's Ryan, Jake's uncle — not by blood, and the first person to tell Mia that Jake isn't dead. He sends a video: Jake and Lily drinking a crossed-arm toast, eyes locked. Mia admits she knows Jake isn't dead. So why the memorial? Everyone told her he was dead, she says, so a memorial is what a widow does. Ryan asks to come; she invites him. A second video shows Jake slamming his glass down after seeing her message, then softening as Lily strokes his chest and he buries his face in her shoulder. Lily calls to threaten her. Mia switches off the phone and sleeps peacefully for the first time in months.
Episode 5
Early the next morning, Mia registers Jake's death at the Social Security Administration, then goes straight to Lily's door and rings until it opens. She invites Lily to the memorial — after all, she's his very best buddy. Lily says Mia is cursing a man who might be alive. Mia reminds her everyone urged her to move on. Then the memory surfaces: when the bad news came, she fainted, and Jake's brothers gathered around her bed warning the mountain was too dangerous — yet she bought a ticket, hired a rescue team, and searched half a month without sleep. Their eyes held no worry, only mockery. A loud crash sounds from inside Lily's room.
Episode 6
A muffled argument leaks through Lily's door — someone warning that Jake won't let Mia off when he returns. Mia realizes the death declaration has finally rattled him. But she won't let him find her. He vanished three months; she'll vanish a few days. With a suitcase packed in advance, she has her best friend Emma book a hotel under Emma's ID for seven days and hides there, preparing memorial supplies. Emma arrives gleeful: Jake is practically turning all of Los Angeles upside down looking for her. Mia is unmoved — he said he'd show up only after she lost her mind searching, so why is he impatient now? Then she sits down with her makeup bag to paint herself into a picture of grief.
Episode 7
Ryan arrives first in a black suit, pins a white silk flower to his cuff, and offers proper condolences. Jake's brothers file in looking worse than the last, hands trembling as they take their flowers. One pulls Mia aside: Jake isn't dead, he's been losing his mind looking for her, didn't she see the missing person notice? Mia plays the grieving widow and has Emma seat him. Onstage, she thanks everyone for attending her late husband's memorial. Lily erupts, insisting Jake isn't dead and she won't allow this. Mia fires back: she's his wife, and even if he isn't dead, a cheating man isn't worth her energy. Then: "Honey, I'm not dead. I'm back."
