The episode kicks off with Jack accidentally colliding with Lina in the bustling aisles of Kmart. Jack, driven by a wild surge of impulsivity and ignorance of Gia's whereabouts, desperately implores Lina for any inkling of her friend's location. However, Lina deceives Jack, feigning ignorance of Gia's situation.
Elsewhere, Gia is on a mission to persuade Sloane to grant her consent for the publication of her story. Meanwhile, she also misleads Rody, claiming that Sloane has greenlit the use of her narrative. For the first time, Sloane betrays Richard by cheating on him with Will. While aboard a boat, Sloane receives a phone call informing her of Sophie's injury and hospitalization. In a rush, she speeds to the hospital, where she unexpectedly encounters Gia. Sensing Gia's pent-up emotions, Sloane offers her a shoulder to lean on.
Following Sophie's release, her room is adorned with love and care, a joint effort from Lily and Richard. As Sloane's birthday approaches, Lily organizes a cozy gathering with Sloane, Richard, Will, and herself. At the gathering, Sloane deceives Lily by suggesting that Richard harbors feelings for her. Back at their home, Sloane manipulates Richard, convincing him that Lily is smitten with him, all as a pretext to consume psychedelic mushrooms at Lily's house. Initially resistant, Richard eventually agrees to indulge in Sloane's whims.
At Lily's house, Sloane encourages Richard to let go and enjoy himself while she stays grounded. Watching the trio immerse in their altered states, Sloane eventually succumbs to temptation and takes a mushroom herself. As the effects intensify, they engage in a foursome. Suddenly, Richard halts his intimacy with Lily, realizing they lack protection. Sloane panics, and Will soothes her, prompting her to affectionately call him "baby."
Richard and Lily come to a startling realization: Will and Sloane have been sleeping together behind their backs multiple times. They also acknowledge Sloane's manipulation of both of them. This revelation ignites fury towards Sloane among everyone. The next day, Will asks Sloane to leave before Lily awakens. When Sloane attempts to kiss Will, he firmly rejects her, declaring their relationship over.
Outside, Richard ensures Sloane sits in the backseat of the car. Once inside, he informs her that she must relocate to the barn upon their return home. Subsequently, Sloane brings baby essentials for Gia and agrees to share her story, figuring she has nothing left to lose. In closing, Sloane reminds Gia that she is penning her narrative for herself, not as a favor to Sloane.
