Nineties icon Janeane Garofalo (Reality Bites, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion) recurs on Younger as Cass, dean of the Arts College of New York, who hires Debi Mazar's Maggie to teach a class. A once-aspiring artist with a hot young wife, Cass is about to realize that she and Maggie have more in common than their love of art.

Now in its seventh and final season, Darren Star's Younger stars Sutton Foster as Liza Miller, a 40-year-old divorcee who is forced to lie about her age to land a job in the publishing industry she left 15 years earlier to raise her daughter. Mazar (Goodfellas, Entourage, L.A. Law) plays her lesbian best friend, Maggie, a cool Brooklynite who for a time is the only person who knows Liza's true story.

A clip below from Thursday's episode sees Cass confessing in some detail that sex with her wife has never been great. The moment occurs after a dinner at Cass and her wife's home, where Maggie brings her previous fling/friend Lauren (Molly Bernard), claiming they're a couple. Given Maggie's penchant for allowing her libido to get her into trouble, things only spiral from there.
