king away from Jesse during a party. Celeste and Jesse still get along well. Celeste is a successful trend analyzer and runs her own media company with her partner, Scott (Elijah Wood). Celeste's media company has just signed Riley Banks (Emma Roberts), a teen pop-star whom Celeste does not respect and openly bashes during a television interview. Jesse is an unemployed artist, in no hurry to find employment. At dinner with their mutual best friends, Beth (Ari Graynor) and Tucker (Eric Christian Olsen), who are engaged. During dinner, while Celeste and Jesse look at the menu and speak with German accents to each other, Beth becomes increasingly annoyed and confronts them about their abnormal relationship. She expresses that it's not normal for them to spend every day together like nothing is wrong, when they have been separated for six months and are getting divorced. Celeste and Jesse tell Beth that it's better this way because when they were together, they fought all the time and Beth and Tucker get caught in the middle. Angry, Beth storms off, with Tucker following her, having the same feelings. In the car ride home, Celeste and Jesse discuss whether they feel it's weird that they spend so much together, and they assure each other it's not weird because they are each other's best friend. One day, Jesse is out with his friend Skillz (Will McCormack) who encourages him to start dating. Jesse informs him that he's hoping for Celeste to "come back around". While at work, Scott is questioning Celeste about whether she made the right decision divorcing Jesse and if she's truly over him, she would also begin dating. One night, Celeste invites Jesse over to help her put together an Ikea dresser. They become frustrated from trying to built the drawer and they instead get drunk on wine and sleep together. Celeste regrets what happened the night before and this upsets Jesse and he storms out angry. Celeste goes on a business trip and repeatedly tries to get a hold of Jesse. Jesse is then seen on a date with Veronica (Rebecca Dayan), a woman Skillz set him up with 3 months before, but did not keep in contact after the first date. Celeste returns home after two weeks and Jesse comes over to speak to her. He informs her that his new girlfriend Veronica is pregnant and he wants to try to make things work for the sake of the baby. She does not take the news well and expresses her concern to Beth who questions about her having second thoughts with the divorce. Celeste denies it to Beth and decides to go on a date. During her date with Max (Rich Sommer), Celeste runs into Jesse. The encounter becomes awkward for Celeste but not for Max who finds Jesse to be a cool guy. Having gone through his own divorce, Max then confronts her that she's not ready to be dating again and to take her time. Another date with a photographer goes well at first until Celeste is put off by his odd sexual behavior. Jesse begins to take more responsibility with Veronica and even becomes a vegan. He invites Celeste out for lunch one day at a vegan restaurant to obtain a signature on the divorce papers since Veronica is not a U.S. citizen and they must get married for her to stay. Celeste stalls and refuses to sign the papers. In her yoga class Paul (Chris Messina) tries to hit on her, and at first she dismisses him, but meeting him again at a party they begin to bond. Celeste realizes that her decision to divorce Jesse was impulsive and selfish, and wants to reunite with him. They then fight and go their separate ways on bad terms. Celeste becomes increasingly depressed and begins to drink and smoke weed excessively. During Beth and Tucker's bridal party, Celeste becomes drunk and passes out on a floaty in the pool, with everyone staring at her. After the bridal party, she gets a call from Riley who asks her to come over. Celeste believes that Riley is angry over the logo she designed for her that unintentionally resembles a penis with balls going into a butt. The logo sparks controversy with her tween fanbase. Celeste arrives at Riley's house to find her in tears. Riley reveals that she has had a secret boyfriend, who she discovered has been cheating on her. They form an unexpected bond over their shared heartbreak and slowly become friends. At a nightclub with Riley, Celeste realizes the logo appeals to Riley's gay fan base, and they could use this to make her the next Lady Gaga. While walking with Riley, Celeste runs into Rupert (Rafi Gavron) a young hot model she had rejected after an awkward date, and introduces him to Riley. At Beth and Tucker's wedding, Celeste makes a toast. She tells the newlyweds to appreciate each other, to be patient, and to try harder, like she should have. This speech touches Jesse, and he thanks Celeste. They are able to reconcile and become friends again. On a karaoke date, Celeste informs Paul of her need to take some time to recover from the divorce, to which he understands. We then see Celeste and Jesse finally signing their divorce papers and laughing at each other's inside jokes. Their lawyers look on, confused by their laughter. Celeste wishes Jesse well. She finally asks Jesse if he loves Veronica, to which he responds that he does. Celeste encourages him to keep fighting for it and begins to finally move on with her life and with Paul.
