In the thrilling third episode of Loot's second season, Molly's enthusiasm for Nicholas' upcoming play, "Vengeance Falls," knows no bounds. Eager to share the moment, she surprises him by inviting his parents to attend. Little did she know that this gesture would unexpectedly throw Nicholas off his game. Embarrassed by the prospect of his conservative parents watching a play so heavily laden with sexual themes, his performance falters, much to Molly's dismay.
After an awkward dinner where the tension is palpable, Nicholas attempts to explain to Molly that his parents are not supportive of his acting ambitions. He urges her not to have invited them, emphasizing that aside from this, he enjoys a strong relationship with them. Molly, however, finds it hard to believe in such a paradoxical relationship, insisting that if Nicholas were to put in as much effort as she does, he could cultivate a more open and understanding bond with his parents.
Nicholas scoffs at this suggestion, pointing out that Molly has never had to strive for anything in her life. She never allows herself to be alone, always surrounded by people and responsibilities. Determined to prove him wrong, Molly decides to grant him and the rest of the staff a day off, declaring that she will spend the entire day by herself.
Meanwhile, Sofia is trying to coerce Howard into finishing a presentation for the "Space for Everyone" project. But Howard's focus is quickly diverted when Sofia receives a notification about a Taylor Swift concert, which coincidentally interests both him and Ainsley. Howard attempts to expose Sofia as a secret Swiftie, but she vehemently denies it.
Undeterred, Howard creates a presentation (not for work but solely to prove his point) revealing that Sofia had requested a day off work on the same day as the concert. Despite this evidence, Sofia doubles down on her denial, claiming that she had to be with her great aunt who was undergoing heart surgery. Feeling guilty, Howard finishes the work presentation and makes a surprise visit to Sofia's house that night to apologize. There, he discovers to his amazement that Sofia has hidden Taylor Swift records in her collection.
Caught red-handed, Sofia confesses that she is indeed a Swiftie and made up the story about her great aunt. She explains that she lies because she wants to be taken seriously and often faces质疑 about her authority. Howard, understanding her predicament, promises to keep her secret and they proceed to bond over shared theories about Taylor Swift's music.
Back at Molly's luxurious abode, the billionaire seems to be handling her solo time quite well. That is, until she retires to bed and the smoke alarm starts beeping incessantly. After a fruitless battle trying to silence the alarm, Molly, frustrated, decides to stash it in the safe within her panic room. Unfortunately, the panic room locks behind her, trapping her inside as she has forgotten the code to exit.
Nicholas, who receives alerts whenever the panic room is activated, rushes over to rescue her. Molly is embarrassed by her inability to handle even the smallest of tasks independently, but Nicholas安慰她，至少她尝试了。
Molly apologizes for trying to give Nicholas unsolicited advice about his parents, but he concedes that she wasn't entirely off the mark. He admits that he and his parents struggle to communicate their feelings effectively.
The episode comes to a heartwarming close as Nicholas tracks down his parents to their temporary lodgings. He invites them out for a farewell dinner and shares with them the news of a commercial he has booked. It's a small step, but a significant one in building healthier communication bridges with his parents.
