Season 2:
Isobel and Cam have made the big move to New York City together, but quickly find their experiences couldn't be more different. When their apartment search gets tricky, Isobel has to get creative.
Isobel finds herself homeless in NYC when reality comes crashing through the floorboards. With the help of her new work friend, Iso goes to stay with a boxer in Bed Stuy. She rolls with the punches when she meets a gorgeous woman who might not be as available as she would have hoped.
Isobel lands her first writing job, navigates her new relationship with Mari, and oversteps when she stays with a family trying to reconcile with their son's homosexuality in Richmond Hill, Queens.
Homeless yet again, Isobel lands in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn with a new host (Vlad) who creates Escape Rooms for a living. But when a double date goes horribly wrong, there’s no escaping the reality that Isobel and Cam’s friendship might be over and that Isobel needs more from Mari.
Isobel is thrilled to be invited to a special weekend upstate with Mari's friends. But she quickly learns that leaving the city doesn't mean avoiding Mari's past and present, and starts to wonder if their relationship even has a future.
Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year converge when Isobel stays with a newly single mom in Tribeca. With Mari away, things heat up between Isobel and Milo, and Isobel gets a surprise visit from her family, as well as some motherly advice she wasn't asking for.
Spring comes early and so does Mari, surprising Isobel just when she was ready to move on. There's music in the air on the Upper West Side, where Isobel's latest BnB host, a composer, inspires Isobel to consider the possibility of new beginnings.
With her hosts away for the weekend, Isobel has a fabulous Red Hook loft all to herself - but not for long. When their college-student daughter stops by, she pulls Isobel into a day of distraction and a night of partying. Their bender leads to complications in her relationships with Mari and Milo.
Isobel turns 30 and celebrates with a wild last night of her 20s, but when carefree becomes careless, she endangers her relationship with Milo and her own sense of self. An all-nighter leads her on an unexpected trek through the city, at the end of which she finds even more than she was looking for.
Love, career, and a home of her own: Isobel's New York City dreams are finally coming true. But is it possible to have them all at once, or even in one place?
