Andrew's paying 'Scottish house-guests' fool nobody, but Malcolm and Kate help cover for him and Summer. Mike realizes that Chris is hiding his unwillingness to study for his father, helps cover for a while but insists he must make up his mind and try if his father doesn't understand after all, even though breaking the family's social climbing dream might compromise their fragile reconciliation after Chris's coming out. Jim tries to pick up with Susan where they left, but she guesses Karl's part and is furious. Malcolm warns his father not to drive his mother away over something feeble compared to his infidelity which once broke their marriage.
