- Scotty's parents are visiting for the weekend. Kevin hopes to impress them by making partner at the law firm, but something goes wrong. Nora tries to win a grant for her charity, but the fact that her only job has been as a housewife doesn't impress anyone. Meanwhile, Sarah is struggling with her own new-found position as a full-time mother. And after finding a file on Ryan Lafferty in Holly's office, Rebecca decides to test her mother's reliability.—Peter Brandt Nielsen
- Rebecca reveals to Justin that she found Holly's file on Ryan but wants to see if Holly meant what she said about earning back her trust. Scotty's parents are coming to visit for the weekend and it coincides with a cocktail party at Kevin's work where he expects to be promoted. Nora's new non-profit organisation needs money to start up and she has to do presentations for potential donors. Sarah is stressed being a stay-at-home mum with her kids and is offered a job where the salary is half what she was earning at Ojai. Kevin begs Kitty to come to dinner with Robert after he told Scotty's parents that they would be there. Holly is surpised when Rebecca wants to accompany her on a trip to Walker Landing, unaware of Rebecca's ulterior motive of asking about Ryan. Nora feels like her presentation was a failure because the staff were concerned with her lack of experience but Sarah tells her that it's all to do with confidence. After minimal fishing, Holly comes clean about the file on Ryan but says she didn't intend to do anything with it. This admission pleases Rebecca and they spend hours bonding. Kevin doesn't get made partner at his law firm and is shocked. He has to go straight from there to dinner with Scottys parents and at dinner, everyone assumes he got his promotion. The tension at the table is obvious throughout the meal and Scotty's mother in particular keeps ignoring Kevin. Meanwhile, Nora is having drinks with the bigwig of the company she approached earlier about a grant. When he too expresses concern about her lack of experience, she spouts off the values and experience she has from raising a family of 5 and he is so impressed he gives her a grant. Justin doesn't believe Rebecca when she returns home reporting that Holly won't do anything with the file on Ryan. They fight which leads to passionate "fight sex" after which they commiserate on why they waited so long. Kevin finally snaps at dinner and confronts Scotty's parents about their lack of inclusion and announces (to spite them) that he will be going to work for their heroes (Kitty and Robert). The parents walk out. Back at home, Scotty is super upset at Kevin until Kevin admits that he didn't get made partner but in fact his firm went with someone else. When Scotty's parents leave at the end of the weekend though, it appears that Kevin's outburst has made them face some harsh truths and they are more friendly to Kevin and are open to seeing the happy couple again. Sarah turns down the job, saying that she is enjoying being a mum at the moment after she had a cute moment with Cooper earlier. She says that she would still like to go back to work, but not for just a "decent" job, it will have to be something "great". Kevin apologises to Robert and Kitty about the dinner and tells them that he would still like to take the job. Robert throws him in the deep end. Rebecca and Justin ambush Holly and Nora into discussing Holly's file on Ryan. Holly thinks it would be "fun" to contact him, just to upset Nora's "perfect little applecart" and suggests that it would be better if Nora contacted Ryan before she did.
