Episode 8 of Season 1 of "Loot" opens with a romantic scene, as Molly and Jean-Pierre enjoy a cozy date. As a thoughtful gesture, Jean-Pierre presents her with a KitKat, one of her favorite treats. He gently inquiries about her family, whom she doesn't often see despite their proximity.
Later, Molly seeks Howard's advice about her family, particularly her cousin Renee, who has been silent since Molly missed her wedding. Howard encourages her to attend the family's Spades Night as an opportunity to mend fences.
At work, Sofia receives a surprise delivery of flowers, accompanied by a provocative note reading, "To my dearest, Fifi. I crave your touch." Sofia snatches the flowers from Nicholas and Arthur, angrily demanding better efforts from the sender.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Nicholas spy on a man named Tony as he arrives at Sofia's office. They intercept her as she leaves, inquiring about the mysterious visitor. Sofia confesses that she's juggling two men in her life: Tony, a thoughtful lawyer, and Jaylin, the unpredictable yet exciting sender of the flowers.
Arthur advises Sofia to choose Jaylin, believing that such men always come out victorious. Nicholas disagrees, preferring the man who cares enough to make a personal appearance. Sofia thanks them for their input but decides to seek advice from her true friends before making a decision.
At Spades Night, Renee greets Molly with a frosty demeanor, but the rest of the family welcomes her with warmth. When Howard attempts to assist Molly but is thwarted by Renee, he leaves her to fend for herself.
Molly tries to evoke memories of their shared dance, hoping to thaw Renee's coldness. Gradually, Renee relaxes, and the two reconnect, poking fun at Howard when he returns.
As a gesture of reconciliation, Molly gifts Renee a new table, replacing the one Renee had complained about. However, Renee reacts angrily, accusing Molly of trying to buy her affections with money. She questions why Molly skipped her wedding for a vacation and sent an expensive gift as compensation. Angry, she calls off Spades Night.
Howard stands up for Molly, but she concedes that Renee is right. She admits her mistake in missing the wedding and attempting to bribe Renee with gifts. She clarifies that she didn't abandon Renee for a vacation but was forced to attend to a personal crisis.
Before her wedding, Molly stumbled upon incriminating texts on John's iPad, revealing his infidelity. Despite her reluctance, he persuaded her to accompany him to Mallorca to resolve the issue. She obeyed, but he denied everything, and she foolishly believed him. Now, she regrets her silence, embarrassed to confess the truth to Renee at the time.
Renee expresses understanding, acknowledging the difficulty of returning to the family after such revelations. She's grateful that Molly is present now.
Later, Sofia thanks Arthur for his earlier advice but disagrees with his assessment. "I believe sometimes, the dependable guy wins the heart," she says, hinting that he stands a better chance with "her" (Molly) than he thinks.
Meanwhile, Jean-Pierre texts Molly, informing her of a special gift he's procured for her - jewels once owned by Marie Antoinette. Howard inquiries about her well-being, but Molly smiles, assuring him that "everything's great."
