What Happened in Episode 6 “Game Night”?
The previous episode, which aired on December 7, set several intense storylines in motion. The central event was a game night that brought many of the characters’ tensions to the surface.
Maia, played by series creator Rachel Sennott, began the episode in a fragile state. She received a concerning letter from her former boss in New York, which triggered significant anxiety. This led to a tense lunch meeting filled with alcohol and self-doubt. Her interactions with her boyfriend, Dylan (Josh Hutcherson), were described as both electrically charged and psychologically complex, especially during the game night itself.
Meanwhile, Tallulah (Odessa A’zion) faced career pressures. She created a cheesy ad mural for a Ritz campaign, which her girlfriend, the chef Tessa (Moses Ingram), later discovered had been vandalized with paint. The episode ended with Tallulah’s act of destruction still being a mystery.
Another friend, Charlie (Jordan Firstman), dealt with his own drama. He ran into an on-and-off ex at a funeral and brought a personal s*x tape to an electronics store to have it wiped, leaving him emotionally confused by the episode’s end. The finale of “Game Night” left multiple characters, including a downhearted Dylan, in ambiguous and heightened emotional states.
Cast and Characters for Episode 7
The main ensemble cast returns for Episode 7. The series revolves around a group of friends navigating their ambitions and relationships in Los Angeles.
- Rachel Sennott as Maia: An ambitious young woman striving to build a career as a talent agent or manager. She is often caught between her professional goals and the chaotic influence of her reunited friends.
- Odessa A’zion as Tallulah: Maia’s old friend, a social media influencer who has recently re-entered Maia’s life. Their codependent friendship is a core dynamic of the show.
- Josh Hutcherson as Dylan: Maia’s boyfriend, who works as a schoolteacher. He represents a more stable, sensible part of Maia’s life that often clashes with her other relationships.
- Jordan Firstman as Charlie: A friend of the group and a celebrity stylist in West Hollywood.
- True Whitaker as Alani: Another friend in the group, who is the daughter of a famous actor.
Recurring characters expected to appear include Leighton Meester as Maia’s boss, Alyssa, and Moses Ingram as Tallulah’s love interest, Tessa. The guest cast for Episode 7 includes Augusto Aguilera as Andrew.
What to Expect from Episode 7 “Divas Down”
Official plot details for Episode 7, “Divas Down,” are currently under wraps. The episode was written by Emma Barrie. As the second-to-last episode of the season, it is expected to intensify the ongoing storylines to set up the season finale.
The central focus will likely remain on the complicated friendship between Maia and Tallulah. Viewers can expect the show to continue blending its signature humor with awkward tension and emotional depth. The characters will probably grapple with career-related problems, personal insecurities, and the high-stakes drama of their interactions in Los Angeles.
Given the unresolved endings from “Game Night,” Episode 7 will likely address the fallout from the vandalized mural, the state of Maia and Dylan’s relationship, and Charlie’s emotional confusion.
The series was created by and stars Rachel Sennott and has already been renewed for a second season by HBO, which was announced in November 2025.
