Ep 7. Puppetmaster

After watching his children's television show, Maya feels good about an upcoming blind date with Steven. Even after showing up late for their dinner, she's certain things went well. However, Maya worries when, on his next show, Steven's puppets go on tirade against lateness. Meanwhile, as Nina invests in an exclusive and trendy nightclub, Elliott regrets sharing his inner thoughts about being a woman with Jack and Finch. When Maya apologizes for her tardiness, Steven claims it didn't matter one bit. Though convinced that she was reading too much into his performance on the show, Maya reconsiders after Steven uses his puppets to complain about something else that she did during their second date. As Nina struggles to save her investment in the club, Jack tells Maya about his problem with one of Steven's puppets. Meanwhile, after seeing the impact that Elliott's desire to be a woman have on potential dates, Finch considers using it as a strategy, too. Though assured that he has nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for her, Maya continues to find evidence to the contrary in Steven's performances. And when he creates a new character that appears to be based on Nina, Maya suspects that Steven is after her, too. Finally, even though he insists there's nothing to worry about, Maya takes matters into her own hands when Steven's show continues to suggest otherwise.
