'Selfie' Season 1, Episode 4: 'Nugget of Wisdom' Recap
by Shannon KeirnanThough Henry continues working on her, Eliza wants a weekend for herself to do her usual - and post it online, so she can compete with her friend Britt, who is closing in on her number of followers. Henry thinks she should spend the weekend helping others, but she resists.
Finally she agrees to accept the assignment, as long as he agrees to spend the weekend having fun and not worrying about work.
Charmonique is excited for her weekend - she is going to her high school reunion, where she intends to reunite with "the one that got away." Eliza offers to help her get ready, using that as her "do-good" for the weekend.
Henry's plan to relax, unwind, and eat a "big salad" goes awry when he finds out that their children's vitamin line is being pulled. The vitamin line was his first rebranding and put their company on the map. He's determined to save the orange elephant.
Eliza helps Charmonique in her wig closet, but as they get her ready, she gets a text that her sitter is sick. She talks Eliza into watching Kevin so she can still go. She instructs her on what to do with Kevin, and reminds her to close the door to the temperature-controlled wig room (worth $60 grand). Annoyed, Eliza calls to check on Henry, who is busy trying to figure out how to save the vitamins.
Kevin worms it out of Eliza why she is bummed, and reminds her that the Internet is about illusion. They set up the wigs and lights and take pictures like it is a club to post online as competition with Britt. She sends Henry a picture and he rushes over to yell at her about bringing Kevin to a club, but finds their scene. They all dance.
At the reunion, Charmonique is reunited with Mitchell, her lost love. He is, however, a priest now, and intent on lecturing her about her poor life choices.
Finally Eliza and Henry put Kevin to bed, but he won't stop crying about his mom, no matter what they do. Charmonique calls to check on them, and reminds Eliza that Kevin needs bedtime chicken nuggets. Eliza tells her she is a good mom, and, empowered, Charmonique tells off Mitchell.
Kevin's love of nuggets has inspired Henry - he draws out vitamin nuggets, but Eliza asks what will happen if kids want seconds? Struck, the two pitch an idea at work - keep the nuggets the same. They are tasty, but bland, and they looked into the number of kids overdosing on tasty vitamins and found that it is very high. No kids will want to O.D. on their brand. They can rebrand as the safe vitamin.
Eliza is sad that her friend outstripped her on Instagram, but pleased she earned Henry's respect, as well as the boss'. The boss tells Henry they are a perfect power couple, throwing Henry a little.
Later, Eliza asks for a reward... like $60 grand, since she forgot to shut the door of Charmonique's wig room.
