As the episode of "Dying for Sex" unfolds, Molly (portrayed by Michelle Williams) engages in a conversation with G (Robby Hoffman), delving into her encounters with Sonya. Molly expresses a desire to understand what Sonya excels at, to which G insists that topping is a divine art form. Intrigued, Molly inquiries into the nature of Sonya's beastly inclination. Molly doubts her own capacity as a top, sharing an anecdote about kicking her neighbor in the groin. G finds this anecdote arousing, realizing that Molly derives pleasure from wielding a particular kind of power. He suggests that Molly immerse herself in a submissive role to hone her control, but Molly balks at the idea of submitting to him.
Elsewhere, Nikki (Jenny Slate) spends time with Noah (Kelvin Yu) and her sister (Tracee Chimo). Noah recounts his experience at a sex party to Nikki's sister, while Nikki reveals she's been fired from her theater role. Her sister accuses Molly of ruining Nikki's life, prompting Nikki to snap at her to be quiet.
Molly later ventures out with Hooper (Zack Robidas), who expresses a desire for her to step on him and degrade him. Molly pushes past her boundaries, and Hooper's curiosity piques when he notices her cane. She justifies it as part of their kink. Later, Hooper visits her home, only to be seen by her neighbor, who catches him kneeling at her doorstep.
Molly confides in Nikki about her encounter, explaining why she couldn't degrade Hooper. She reveals Hooper's impending return for another session, during which she intends to fulfill her fantasy. As she spots her former physician, Dr. Keller (Peter Grosz), nearby, she admits to enjoying observing him. Nikki blames him for not ordering a mammogram, but Molly hushes her, wary of being noticed. They ponder how their anger has escalated. Nikki reveals she was fired from the play a month ago, though Molly takes the blame, which Nikki swiftly dispels.
Later, Molly dominates Hooper but finds her mind wandering. Hooper is compelled to use the safe word to snap her back to reality. Seeking submission, Molly visits G, who warns her that she cannot disconnect when she's in charge. She emphasizes the importance of staying present. G asks if Molly is ready to surrender to her, and she affirms. G reminds her of her power to halt the session at any moment, then grants Molly's wishes. Following their encounter, G cradles her.
Molly returns to Dr. Pankowitz (David Rasche) after deciding on radiation treatment. She insists he sit beside her and hold her hand, inquiring about his first name. "Jerry," he replies. Molly asks him to walk her through the procedure and to heed her when she needs a break. They breathe in unison. Molly vows to Nikki that they will find a way to quell their anger. Nikki confronts Molly's old doctor, forgiving him outright.
Sonya visits G, thanking her for aiding Molly and seeking further punishment. Meanwhile, Molly finds herself in an elevator with her neighbor, who admits he often thinks about their past altercation. Molly forces him to maintain eye contact with her, the tension thick between them.
