In the fifth episode of I Love LA, we find Dylan and Maia deep in conversation about the potential acquisition of a firearm for their home. The scene then cuts to Maia at work, where she's making deals at the car dealership while cuddling with Tessa, as Tallulah begs Alani to teach her how to drive. Over lunch with her boss, Maia cunningly sets up a double date for both of them, cleverly giving the impression that Dylan works in music. Meanwhile, Charlie meets with Landry and his pack to secure a job in Vegas, but he's getting hit with a wave of religious vibes as they discuss having accountability partners to keep them away from porn.
As they set out on the road, Tallulah quickly gives up on driving and decides to lure Alani's date away while Alani takes over the wheel. Charlie, leaving a wig party under the influence, joins his new boss and posse for a run. However, barely a few steps into it, he's projectile vomiting, ready for them to turn on him in disgust. Landry hangs back while the others run, explaining that friends don't bully each other but offer support instead.
At Alyssa's house, Jeremy and Dylan start chatting, but Jeremy quickly feels a migraine coming on from Maia's perfume. He takes off to lie down. At Alani's place, she gets ready for her date while Charlie amuses himself by group-texting Landry and the boys.
At dinner, Dylan takes over grilling while Maia goes to the ladies' room for a break, only to find Jeremy not napping but jerking off to porn. Back in the kitchen, she's at a loss as to how to act as Alyssa raves about how wonderful Jeremy is. She encourages Maia to seek out her own Jeremy, even though Dylan is nice and tries. We can always do better.
As they returned to their cozy abode, Maia and Dylan engaged in a heartfelt discussion about the events of the evening, with Maia expressing her empathy for Alyssa's unfortunate partnership. As their conversation deepened, Dylan's critique of the couple's obsession with wealth and ambition resonated within Maia like a chime, stirring her own thoughts. "Shouldn't we all aspire to something more?" she mused.
While idly flipping through her phone, Maia's heart sank as she stumbled upon the news of Landry's tragic demise in an ATV accident. The news served as a stark reminder of life's unpredictable turns and the fragile nature of existence.
