Miranda decides to visit the hair salon in which Mia works to talk to her about the pregnancy and whether or not she wants Brady in the baby’s life. She brings Charlotte with her for emotional support.

Mia appears with her baby bump on full display and apologizes for having a lot of gas amid her pregnancy. Initially, Miranda does not disclose to Mia that she is Brady’s mom. It’s only when Mia calls Brady her “f*** buddy” that Miranda reveals her true identity while Mia is washing her hair. Mia is upset by Miranda’s deception and sprays her face with water.

Miranda apologizes to Mia for showing up to interrogate her about the baby and says that she wishes to get to know the “little boy or girl” once the baby is born.

“Little boy or girl? You’re so binary,” Mia responds as she walks away while passing gas.
