Out From Under Simone Laney Grey, an inhouse caregiver, is packing up when another woman, Lela Bunny Madison, stops by to see if she needs any help. As they chat, its revealed that Simone was taking care of Lelas parent, who recently passed. Although her job is done, Simone feels greatly for Lelas loss, concerned about her wellbeing during this difficult time. Lela admits to feeling conflicted, revealing that shes a lesbian. Although her parent wasnt initially accepting, he eventually became... tolerant... of it. But with his earlyonset dementia, their relationship deteriorated and she chose to go back into the closet to protect them both. Simone is surprised but empathetic as she opens up and comes out to Lela as a lesbian, too. Lela is equally surprised by the reveal, both of them having no idea that the other was lesbian until that very moment. As Lela reflects on being able to live authentically again, Simone is supportive, and there are sparks between them. Lela and Simone reflect on how they never had the chance to properly get to know each other while Simone was working with the family. Because of that, it feels like an opportunity for them to become close was missed. But as they move in for a first kiss, maybe theres a chance for a new beginning.
