Sam's show is a disaster as nobody shows up; Gretchen didn't understand the concept of under the radar publicity, so there was no publicity at all. To save face, Gretchen addresses the congregation of a storefront Hispanic church, in Spanish, and gets them to attend. She tells Jimmy it doesn't matter about saying "I love you" because she always has one foot out the door anyway. He says "I love you". Paul is creating a "domestic paradise" for Lindsay with pre-planned, pre-portioned gourmet meals. After cutting up some vegetables, she stabs him with her kitchen knife.

Jimmy announces he's completed and submitted his erotic novel proposal, while Dorothy prepares to move out of the house.

Gretchen sees Justina, a therapist, and gets mad when Justina says Gretchen needs to do some of the work in order to recover. Gretchen thinks Justina is suggesting she can fix herself. Lindsay tends to Paul's knife wound, claiming he "backed into" the knife, while stealing his pain meds for herself. She then leaves Paul to fend for himself and joins her friends for breakfast. Her friends are shocked when Lindsay admits she "kind of pushed" the knife. Edgar is helping Dorothy move into her apartment and notices there are many homeless veterans in that area of town. He begins helping the vets and ignoring Dorothy. Jimmy, tagging along but also not helping, takes plot and style suggestions from the locals, and a cop. After a parking lot confrontation, Justina convinces Gretchen to open some mail, and Gretchen later does so. Near the bottom of the pile, she finds a letter from Jimmy's sister in England, telling him their father has died. The letter includes a newspaper obituary, and has likely been sitting in the mail pile for a couple of weeks.

But she then tries to convince all the friends to help her announce to Jimmy that his father is dead, soon giving up after Jimmy announces that he has bought cruise tickets for himself and Gretchen. During the party, Lindsay continually tries to convince herself that she loves Paul, and she's at least impressed when Paul loudly sticks up for her after she is insulted. Killian tells whoever will listen that his father left home several days ago with no explanation, and hasn't returned. As the party gets wilder, Jimmy retreats to the basement, and Edgar sees that he is going to call his father and gloat about selling the book (something he had alluded to multiple times since the publishing news).

In the resulting chaos, Gretchen declares she's done pleasing others and chooses herself. Jimmy leaves, but Gretchen jumps into his car. She slaps him, they kiss, Gretchen puts on the engagement ring and suggests a wedding date. They drive away.
