The premise
Here’s the bit.
Five women gather in a tidy living room for the first meeting of their women's group, sharing modest wishes about marriage, cooking and Kindles over white wine. Then they bring out their vision boards. Denise shows off peonies and yogurt, but P.J. unveils a collage of before-and-after revenge photos, a severed head, a box of grisly trophies and a hit list she has infiltrated through seduction. The hostess keeps trying to steer her toward her best self while the other women politely compliment her blazer, until a laser dot appears on P.J.'s chest and the meeting wraps up with a thank-you for the lovely spread.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 5
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I consider my body a tool, not unlike a Swiss army knife.
it seems like a lot of your visioning is less about finding your best self and more about, um, murder.
How do you feel about gunfire in the home?

Woman
Okay, ladies, welcome to the first ever meeting of women's group. I know we're all very busy with carpools and birthday parties. But I think it's great that we're taking time to focus on ourselves and our goals.
- 00:14
Carol
Oh, I thought this was just an excuse to drink white wine in the afternoon.
- 00:18
Woman
Carol, you're bad. Okay, I'll go first. My goal is to fall back in love with my husband. I want us to play, and I want to be wooed. Carol?
- 00:34
Carol
Okay, um, I guess, okay, I just want to, like, slow down, you know? I want to cook more, and I want to worry less. Yeah.
- 00:44
Denise
I'll go. Um, I want to start really considering the things I put in my body, and I want to take more photographs.
- 00:52
P.J.
I'll go. This year I would like to avenge the death of my father. He was taken from me ten years ago, and now I plan to exact my revenge on the individuals who caused me this pain.
- 01:08
Woman
I want to learn how to set up my Kindle.
- 01:15
Woman
Okay, um, that's great, everybody. Now let's pull out those, those vision boards that we all made. All right, now, Denise, would you like to go first?
- 01:28
Denise
These are some images that I find inspirational. These are fresh-cut peonies. This is Jennifer Hudson. This is Yogurt, and this is an angel.
- 01:42
P.J.
Oh, okay, on mine, uh, this This is my dad, and this is me over his dead body screaming, No!
- 01:59
P.J.
This is really kind of before. This is the before image, and then this is the after.
- 02:06
Woman
Are you holding a human head?
- 02:09
P.J.
Yeah. Yeah, I am. This is the head of Roel Scorpion Diamante. He is the man that killed my father. This is the only known photo of him, and I hope to place red X's in his own blood over his eyes when I find him. And coincidentally, I also have yogurt.
- 02:28
Woman
Very Good.
- 02:33
Woman
Very good job, PJ. I can tell you're very serious about your goals. So who's next?
- 02:40
Carol
I wish I had gone before PJ, but this is mine. So, um, this is my dream kitchen. It's, it's a Hampton style with a lot of copper details. I just like the airiness of it.
- 02:53
Woman
OK. All right, anyone else?
- 02:56
P.J.
I got another one. Um, kind of... I just kind of got into it. It made sense to me. This vision board is showing El Scorpion's inner circle.
- 03:08
Denise
I'm sorry, why are you on there?
- 03:10
P.J.
Oh, very astute. That's nice. Yeah, I've been able to infiltrate his organization by by gaining their trust mostly through sex.
- 03:20
P.J.
I consider my body a tool, not unlike a Swiss army knife.
- 03:26
P.J.
And I love that sweater, by the way.
- 03:28
Woman
Oh, thank you. That's a very cute blazer.
- 03:31
P.J.
Oh, yeah. I've had it for a while. I don't even know where I got it. Oh, yeah. And Taylor Loft.
- 03:36
Woman
Oh, um... OK, now, did anyone and everyone bring an object that inspires them? Is that?
- 03:44
Woman
Yes. Yes, okay, this is my own personal copy of Under the Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane, and I don't know, she just reminds me that we as women are like fine wines.
- 03:58
P.J.
I'd love to borrow that from you. I love the message. Okay, I brought a box. Each time I've erased an individual as part of my journey, I've taken a trophy and, and put it in here. But I will warn you that the contents, once seen, cannot be unseen. You guys ready?
- 04:22
Woman
Are you sure?
- 04:25
P.J.
Okay, it was mostly ears and one penis, so...
- 04:31
Woman
PJ, I know we all just met you, but it seems like a lot of your visioning is less about finding your best self and more about, um, murder.
- 04:41
P.J.
That's fair.
- 04:44
Woman
But, you know, women's group is about letting go of the past. So, uh, what I want to know is, not who was PJ, but who is PJ?
- 04:55
P.J.
That's a great question. Who is PJ? PJ likes to laugh. PJ can be a bit of a diva. PJ should probably give herself a break because she's a good woman.
- 05:08
Woman
PJ, I'm sorry. What's that red dot on your chest?
- 05:12
P.J.
Does it follow me when I move?
- 05:15
Woman
Yeah.
- 05:16
P.J.
Okay. How do you feel about gunfire in the home?
- 05:21
Woman
Well, I asked you to take off your shoes, so...
- 05:24
P.J.
Okay. Okay, I'm gonna probably go. I want to thank you for lovely spread and having me in your home, and I'll see you at the next women's week.
