In Episode 4 of Selling the OC, Polly met Kayla for brunch, and the two discussed their recent listings and future in real estate. Kayla was nervous about landing her first listing and confessed that her nervousness and skepticism came from a previous work experience where she was an assistant to a top agent. As the star left the job to join the Oppenheim Group in Orange County, her boss demeaned her skillset.
While sharing the experience, Kayla revealed that she was scared she would fail miserably within the first year. She further stated that she wasn't getting enough breaks and didn't have anyone apart from her son. While consoling Kayla, Polly echoed the sentiment as she lived alone.

Later in the episode, when Kayla took Alex Hall to her listing, she explained that her first listing was special as she wanted to display her skills to Jason Oppenheim. The Selling the OC star revealed that she worked as a bartender during weekends and even did night shifts, which shocked Alex.
While explaining to Alex her dissatisfaction with Polly and their interaction yesterday, Kayla broke down, confessing her feeling of self-doubt and constantly feeling that she wasn't "able to do enough."
Back at the office, Selling the OC stars Alex and Polly discussed their respective interactions with Kayla. Referencing Kayla, Polly said:
"She spent the whole afternoon complaining that she got a $4.5 million listing and that she's alone and goes home to her son to the only agent in the office who hasn't yet procured her own listing."
Alex confessed that with Kayla speaking negatively all the time, "the energy changes." Polly revealed that she couldn't bear hearing Kayla's "sob stories" all the time.
