01E01 - Empty Best

Single mother and divorcee Eve Fletcher works at an assisted living facility. She prepares for her only child, Brendan, to leave for college the next day. He cuts their last dinner at home together short to attend a party with his friends. There,he talks with Becca, a girl he had sex with then ghosted, and bullies classmate Julian. Eve's friend Jane comes over to commiserate about their children moving away and encourages her to open up to new experiences. That night, Brendan sends a picture of his penis to Becca, which prompts her to visit him the next day. Eve is horrified to overhear him using derogatory language to Becca while she performs oral sex on him. She begins adjusting to living alone. In bed that night, she Googles "MILF" - a term her friend Jane earlier used to compliment her - and watches a pornographic video from the search results out of curiosity. Later, she arrives at a local community college for a creative writing course and meets Julian, who is one of her classmates.
