Sarah Jessica Parker stars in HBO's hit series about a thirtysomething writer whose life and friendships are fodder for her weekly column.
Series Premiere. Following an on-the-job breakdown, a corporate buyer named Amy Jellicoe returns home after an extended stay in a holistic treatment center. With a kinder-and-gentler attitude, Amy moves in with her mom, Helen, while making overtures with the company, Abaddonn Industries, to get her job back. Meanwhile, she reconnects with her ex-husband Levi.
Amy's hopes to land a dream job take a hit when she's demoted to the basement of Abaddonn, working in data entry among a group of social misfits. The job has its perks, however, as Amy uncovers a litany of corporate improprieties while surfing the net in her downtime. Meanwhile, Amy's attempts to improve the lives of her ex-husband Levi and mom Helen fall on deaf ears.
Wary that she may revert to her old, hard-partying ways on her first weekend back at home, Amy talks Levi into taking a rafting excursion to the Kern River, which they used to frequent during happier times when they were married. The idyllic trip takes a downturn, however, when Amy discovers that her mission to implement change in Levi may be more difficult than she realized.
Moved by the deportation plight of a Mexican mother, Amy tries to generate interest in a new woman's group at work. In her efforts, she looks to enlist Judy, head of Human Resources, by taking her out to dinner. She also targets Krista's baby shower as a place to recruit members, but learns her cause and passion aren't shared by the suburban domestic set.
Amy is thrilled when Sandy (Robin Wright), whom she'd met in Hawaii during group therapy, comes to visit. The kindred relationship between the two starts eroding when Helen refuses to put up Sandy for another night, forcing Amy to drop her friend off with Levi. When Sandy fails to show up to teach a yoga session at Abaddonn, Amy's baser instincts get the better of her.
A disturbing dream leads Amy to confront the emptiness in her life -- and her lingering feelings for Levi. At work, after Dougie gets a promotion, Amy looks to get into his good graces by setting him up with Harper, a pretty co-worker of Krista's who had attended the yoga session. The incident brings her closer to Tyler, who has his own issues with loneliness.
Amy goes off to work, leaving Helen alone with her thoughts and memories -- including those of her late husband Jim. At the grocery store, she runs into old friend Carol, and endures the prerequisite showoff of pictures of children and grandkids. Later, Levi stops by to drop off a photo album -- and ends up venting about Helen's role in his breakup with Amy.
Amy convinces Levi to get treatment at Open Air. At work, a reinvigorated Amy talks Damon into letting her present her research findings to his group. The problem is that Dougie won't let her leave the office. After making the presentation anyway and paying the price, Amy turns to Tyler for the key to forcing change at Abaddonn.
