Sweetbitter‘s buttoned-up Simone gets downright angry — that is to say, her nostrils flare slightly — in this exclusive sneak peek from Sunday’s episode (Starz, 8/7c). And all because a mysterious woman named Simone calls the restaurant, seeking a last-minute reservation.
When Becky asks for some assistance finding room in the busy dining room for the mystery caller and her guest, Simone takes the quickest of glances at the reservation book before deciding that the eatery is fully, hopelessly committed for the evening. Even Becky’s reminder that Serena is “an alumna” does nothing to sway the ice-cold blonde’s decision.
