Season 1, Episode 06 — now playing
HOA
The fire lane is real. Ugly is not a fire code.
A memorial bench sits in the one rule that actually matters. Mara has to defend the lane without letting the clipboard erase a name. Gloria has the only honest record in the building. Patrick has already chosen the new shade.
Episode 06 — The Bench
First cut. Spoken dialogue. A want, a turn, and a dog who sits with prejudice.
First cut
The Rules Are Real. The People Are Worse.
HOA lives in the tiny gap between legitimate grown-up problems and the kind of clipboard energy that turns a citrus planter into a municipal crisis.
Cal At The Shores
A close friend and baby daddy in an RV at La Jolla Shores, carrying family weight and still finding time to roast the agenda.
The Board
People who believe a garage door color can destabilize civilization. They are not entirely wrong, which is the problem.

Scripts and cuts live here as the slate comes together. Episode 06 is the one you can watch now.
Three Inches Too Joyful
A front-door planter, a measuring tape, and the first recorded instance of emotional landscaping.
The Lifestyle Committee

Uniform Seasonal Greenery
Sandy complies so precisely the courtyard becomes a native habitat the board adopted by reference and cannot undo.
Context Collapse
A doorbell clip goes viral. Mara has the shareable correction and does not post it.
Community Outreach
A work van is a violation. A magneted SUV is courtesy. Frank will not let the room keep both sentences.
The Bench
A real fire-access rule, a memorial plaque, and Gloria’s 2021 notebook. The bench moves three feet. The name stays.
