Rebecca Bunch finds out she's been offered a partnership with the Manhattan law firm where she works, but realizes that she isn't happy with her life. Just when she's wondering what to do, her ex-boyfriend from ten years ago, Josh Chan, walks by. He tells her that he had a lot of fun the summer they were together, then says that he's moving back home to West Covina, California, because people seem happier there. Rebecca moves to West Covina hoping to run into him again, but finds it more difficult than she expected. She meets Greg, a friend of Josh's, who invites her to a party and tells her that Josh has a girlfriend. Meanwhile, a middle-aged paralegal at her new workplace, Paula, finds out Rebecca's reason for moving out of New York, and confronts her about being obsessed. Paula tells Rebecca that she is in love, and calls her brave, not crazy.
Rebecca makes a late-night trip to the grocery store and runs into Josh with his girlfriend Valencia. Floored by how pretty Valencia is, Rebecca decides to attend the Yoga class Valencia teaches to become her friend, not realizing that Paula is feeling ignored. Even though Josh warns her not to get too close to Valencia, Rebecca takes her to lunch and helps her get a yoga studio. Josh finds out that Greg is into Rebecca and encourages him to go for it, but when Greg finds out that they dated before, he isn't happy. A drunk Rebecca blurts out that she and Josh were in love, and Valencia storms away with Josh. Rebecca apologizes to Paula, calling her a true friend. Josh apologizes for asking Rebecca to lie and asks her out to dinner.
