At a Mexican restaurant with Sydney, Gabe realizes he called Clem “babygirl.” He doesn’t have a “daddy-kink”; the term was a product of the moment. Sydney thinks about how Clem has never talked much about her sex life with Nate. Sydney and Gabe agree that Gabe wouldn’t be a great father figure for Poppy.

Gabe and Sydney’s conversation turns to Oliver. Gabe says he got the job at the library; however, Oliver never told Sydney. Gabe and Sydney discuss Sydney and Oliver’s potential romantic relationship. Gabe presents Oliver as vulnerable and Sydney as destructive. Upset, Sydney leaves.

Sydney confronts Oliver at his home. She misses him, and Oliver makes a playful allusion to the “One Week” song. She tries to teach Oliver how to drive, and her neighbor Lorna complains. She brings up her deceased husband, Edgar, whom Sydney presents as a predator. Lorna likes Oliver, but not Sydney. Sydney greets another neighbor, Evan, who writes thrillers and has a young daughter.

At Oliver and Gabe’s home, Olive and Sydney cuddle. Gabe returns, and Sydney and Gabe hug and reconcile. However, Gabe reminds Sydney to stay cautious about what she’s doing to Oliver.
