Nina calls Christine to make plans for their annual 4th of July celebration, but Chris tells Nina that she and Paul want to spend the holiday alone. Mary then calls Christine and Paul to invite them to her house for a 4th of July barbecue and Paul reluctantly accepts the invitation. Christine invites Nina and Tomas to join them. Nick, Sharon and the kids stop by the ranch to get Nikki out of the house for the holiday. They can't persuade her to join them, so they head off to the coffeehouse. As Nick and Sharon gather food for their picnic basket, Trina comes by and tells Nick there is a problem with the opening of the Milwaukee store as the opening act fell out. Nick and Sharon are happy with Trina's suggestion for a replacement. John and Gina spend the holiday together and talk of taking a trip to London soon.
