Key Lines from Episode 4

“No. Tell Arthur Mercer I'll be in New York this weekend.”

Tara Bennett · Tara tells her assistant to accept the meeting after hearing about Mercer's project.

“Tara, we're family. You don't have to spend months of your paycheck just to look good for the wedding.”

Chloe · Chloe acts concerned while criticizing Tara's elegant coat and expensive watch in the living room.

“You were so low maintenance back in school. Now you're buying knockoffs?”

Greg · Greg mocks Tara from the couch, assuming her luxury items are counterfeit.

“I've never told any of you how much I make, and I've never asked any of you for money. So what exactly makes you think I can't afford any of this?”

Tara Bennett · Tara firmly challenges her relatives after they insult her clothes and financial status.

How Episode 4 Ends

Tara stands tall in the living room and looks right at Chloe. She asks why everyone assumes she cannot afford her own nice items. Chloe sits on the couch, completely unable to answer her sister. Will Chloe and the relatives back down, or will they find another excuse to belittle Tara during dinner?
