Enlightened
Enlightened follows the story of Amy, a self-destructive executive, who, after a very public breakdown and a subsequent philosophical awakening in rehabilitation, tries to get her life back together.
After an explosive, humiliating breakdown at work, Amy Jellicoe has returned from a stay at a treatment center with an entirely new outlook.
Amy is offered a job at Abaddon after all, but it is not what she was hoping for: data entry in the basement with a strange assortment of losers.
Amy imagines what it would be like to be someone else as she contemplates her dissatisfaction. She considers taking a job at a homeless shelter.
Amy invites Levi to spend the weekend with her, kayaking on a river where they share fond memories.
It's raining and Amy's car won't start. She sees a story on the news about a local mother being deported as an illegal immigrant and decides to rally women at Abaddon to form a women's activist group.
Sandy comes to visit, Amy's friend from Hawaii, for two days to teach a yoga seminar.
Amy has a bad dream and spends the night at Levi's. Tyler reveals his attraction to Amy. Amy tries to set up her boss Dougie with Krista's friend Harper. Everyone's looking for love and intimacy in their own way.
When Dougie tries to get Amy fired she reveals details about his inappropriate behaviour to human resources.
Helen remembers the death of her husband when her daughters were children.
Levi breaks down Amy's door at 3 a.m., desperate. Damon allows Amy to make a presentation at a staff meeting. Amy is determined to make change at Abaddon, no matter what it takes.
